Serdar And Naia
A Perfect Haiku II
Darkness And A City
Somewhere else on the blog, (I think) I said that I would like to spend time in the period of Serdar and Naia but would also appreciate an escape route.
Endings include imperial decline so see also:
Irumclaw
Citizen Ammon II
Tide And Twilight
Mankind approaches its sunset both in Genesis, PART ONE, and in The Time Machine. The latter work proceeds further to show the end of life on Earth and ties both endings together in the experience of one Time Traveler. When Anderson's Terran Empire ends, mankind has spread too far to become extinct and instead builds vaster civilizations after the appropriately named Long Night.
The Time Machine: The Sunset of Mankind and the Further Vision;
The Technic History: the wreckage of empire and the Long Night;
Genesis: Sirdar's haiku, then mankind extinct but recreated as Earth's end nears.

Kaor, Paul!
There's also Chapter 1 of ENSIGN FLANDRY, beginning like this: "Evening on Terra." Followed by naming and listing the titles of Emperor Georgios (and that it was his birthday). I think that chapter not only sets the beginning of the story, but is also meant to be ominous, that it was the evening of an old man's life and that the Empire was facing perilous times.
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
Evening on Terra. Yes.
Paul.
