Another Future Historical Link

See Future And Alternative Historical Links.

Here is an even more indirect sequence of links connecting Daven Laure back to Nicholas van Rijn:

Laure is from the planet, New Vixen;

we infer that New Vixen is a colony of Vixen;

Flandry visited Vixen with the Vixenite, Kit Kittredge;

earlier, Adzel and Chee Lan met another Vixenite Kittredge on Falkayn's home planet, Hermes;

Falkayn, Adzel and Chee Lan all worked for van Rijn.

Everything is connected. Poul Anderson's characters remain unaware of these particular connections but we see them with the god's-eye view of readers of a future history series.

We have arrived at the end of the Technic History:

"...victory."
-"Starfog," p. 794 -

- but might find more to say about some of the earlier installments.
