Revision And Expansion

This post is old news but its content can be harmlessly re-summarized while we are not doing anything else.

The eleven works in The Technic Civilization Saga, Volume I, The Van Rijn Method, comprise:

one more recently published story, "The Saturn Game";

the first seven of the twelve works, including one novel, that had been collected as The Earth Book Of Stormgate, together with their Earth Book introductions;

the first two of the three David Falkayn stories that had been collected as The Trouble Twisters;

the first of the three Nicholas van Rijn stories that had been collected as Trader To The Stars.

Volume II, David Falkayn: Star Trader, comprises:

the two remaining Trader To The Stars stories;

the one remaining The Trouble Twisters story;

three more Earth Book stories with their introductions;

the novel, Satan's World.

Volume III, Rise Of The Terran Empire, comprises:

the novel, Mirkheim;

the two remaining Earth Book stories with their introductions and afterword;

"The Star Plunderer" which had been collected, inappropriately, in The Long Night;

the previously uncollected "Sargasso of Lost Starships";

the novel, The People Of The Wind, providing the background for the Earth Book.

Thus, Volumes I-III (of VII) are like a revised and expanded Earth Book.
