Chronological Questions II

Mirkheim, XI.

Satan's World, "...the Shenna affair..." (p. 175);

shortly after that, the beginning of "Lodestar";

ten years later, the end of "Lodestar";

ten more years later, Mirkheim.

 

That makes twenty years between Satan's World and Mirkheim. Why then does Eric Tamarin reflect that van Rijn's face is:

 

"...sharply remembered from documentary shows a decade ago following the Shenna business..." (p. 176)?

 

The answer is partly that these texts were never meant to be read this closely.
