Kaor, Paul!
Hmmmm, is this how you might favor arranging the Technic stories in a hypothetical COMPLETE COLLECTED WORKS OF POUL ANDERSON? I would ague for including in TRADER TO THE STARS "The Saturn Game" and then the revised version of "Margin of Profit."
And THE NIGHT FACE AND OTHER STORIES should include the original texts of the five Technic stories revised by Anderson.
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
I don't know. I like THE TECHNIC CIVILIZATION SAGA and the original publication order. I know that "The Saturn Game" is chronologically the earliest but I don't think it would fit in TRADER TO THE STARS. Like some of the EARTH BOOK stories, it would have to be fitted in later - IF we are talking about making minimal changes to the original reading order.
Paul.
