What Else Hloch Relates

Rereading Hloch's introductions in search of more information about the Ythrian ancestors, we find that his account moves forward from ancestral times into the periods covered by The People Of The Wind and by the stories that he collects in the Earth Book. Thus:

James Ching, student friend of Adzel, became a spaceman, eventually settling in Catawrayannis, and wrote life-long reminiscences, one of which was republished in the Earth Book;

Emil Dalmady's daughter, Judith, moved to Avalon with Falkayn and wrote works of historical fiction which were published in the periodical, Morgana, three republished in the Earth Book;

the Avalonian armed forces supported the deciphering of data units transferred from Hermes in the hope of finding militarily useful information during the build-up to the Terran War;

Arinnian/Christopher Holm wrote one story for the Earth Book and co-wrote two others with Hloch;

in his Tales Of The Great Frontier, A.A. Craig wrote about van Rijn and also about an early incident on Avalon after interviewing the person involved when visiting the planet.

These interstitial passages, written, no doubt effortlessly, for the Earth Book collection by Poul Anderson, immensely enhance an already substantial future history series but we have analyzed Hloch's sources before.
