"Holmgang."

We learn more about the Solar System:

everywhere is getting civilized except Venus;

Luna City is a "...roaring commercial metropolis..." (p. 21);

Achilles and Patroclus each have "...a permanent boomtown atmosphere..." (ibid.);

the Trojan asteroids trailing Jupiter are the jumping-off place for planets further from the Sun, the leading group for the inner System;

the Last Chance on Achilles is described as a rowdy bar;

prospectors and miners among the asteroids are the last practitioners of private enterprise.

Our knowledge of the Psychotechnic History expands with each successive story.
