Back To Ivanhoe, With A Detour To Diomedes

I don't want to leave "Esau," a lovely little story with two alien races, van Rijn in the Winged Cross and a one-off hero from a planet later visited by Flandry but we must move on although we can always return. Continuing to navigate through The Earth Book Of Stormgate, we arrive at "The Season of Forgiveness," which should really be read on Christmas Eve. We have come from van Rijn and Torres in space via Dalmady reporting back from Suleiman to van Rijn on Earth to Overbeck and Hernandez on Ivanhoe, never forgetting that Schuster and Falkayn were previously on Ivanhoe. In these four employer-employee pairs, only van Rijn's name has recurred. It is only a matter of time before van Rijn and Falkayn come together but we do not necessarily know that yet. This is the last post for today, thus a mere preview of what we should be looking at tomoz.

Over in the Black Widowers, the limerick for the fifth book of the Iliad has to incorporate the name of the Greek hero, Diomedes. Despite having read the Iliad at least once, I never remembered "Diomedes" as the name of a hero. Given that it is a planet in Poul Anderson's Technic History, I am having problems applying it to a person but there you are.

The image is the cover of the Earth Book 2 which is The Man Who Counts so those flyers are Diomedeans, not Ythrians.
