Multi-Layered Consistencies II

The People Of The Wind, IV.

References continue.

(i) A Terran Planet-class space cruiser is called Thor: another mythological reference.

(ii) Another Planet-class is called Ansa. This could be a mythological reference (see Odin) but probably instead refers to the colonized planet introduced in "Sargasso of Lost Starships."

(iii) The Planet-class cruisers are mother ships to Comet- and Meteor-class boats. We saw here that there was a Comet-class scoutboat in "Sargasso..."

(iv) A Meteor crew includes a male Cynthian.

That is just from the first page of Chapter IV and is as much as I am going to post about tonight.

Good night and glory to the Emperor.

Kaor, Paul!

"Sargasso of Lost Cities" would have made an interesting title to a very unusual story if Anderson had written it! Yes, I know, you meant "Sargasso of Lost Starships"!

Glory to the Emperor!
