Telepathic Interrogation

"The Children's Hour," Chapter VI.

"...the great weakness of telepathic interrogation is that it can only detect what the subject believes to be true." (p. 290)

I read past this statement, then returned to it because it seemed familiar: part of a sentence for Jerry Pournelle and SM Stirling; one short story for Poul Anderson.

The first Dominic Flandry story that I read was "The Game of Glory," which tells us that Flandry learned how to lie to a telepath. Little did I suspect that:

that had happened in "Honorable Enemies";

these were just two installments in a whole Captain Flandry series of stories;

that series was part of the longer Flandry period of a massive future history series;

in 2020 (the remote future), I would access a worldwide computer network to compare the Technic History with a multi-volume series set during a period of interstellar wars in another massive future history series.
