The Day Of Their Return In Poul Anderson's Technic History

The Day Of Their Return:

refers to Starkad, Talwin and Jihannath and thus is a sequel to the three novels of the Young Fandry Trilogy;

is set on Aeneas in the immediate aftermath of the McCormac Rebellion and thus is a more direct sequel to the third Young Fandry novel, The Rebel Worlds;

introduces Aycharaych and thus is a prequel to "Honorable Enemies";

summarizes the events of the Terran-Ythrian war and thus is a sequel to The People Of The Wind;

introduces Chunderban Desai who will explain history to Flandry in A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows;

features Erannath of Stormgate Choth and therefore is a sequel to The Earth Book Of Stormgate;

explains the Ancients that Axor will study in The Game Of Empire.

Kaor, Paul!

And one of the things about THE DAY OF THEIR RETURN was how we get a glimpse of how the Empire was administered when Commissioner Desai was going thru the mail from Terra (while he was looking for a reply to questions he had sent back there).

Ad astra! Sean
