Young Flandry (three novels)
- one non-Flandry volume (story + novel)
Captain Flandry (two collections and one novel)
Admiral Flandry (two novels)
- one post-Flandry collection
Flandry is taught by Max Abrams in Ensign Flandry, the first Young Flandry novel, and by Chunderban Desai in A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows, the Captain Flandry novel. See "Know A Man By His Heroes II" and "Theory And Practice II," both here. Desai expounds the historical theory of John K. Hord without naming him. Hord is the dedicatee of A Stone In Heaven, the first Admiral Flandry novel.
Flandry, as Captain, already intuits the gist of Hord's theory. See Indian Summer II. He imparts this intuitive understanding to Kit as Captain Flandry and, much later, explains the developed theory to Miriam/Banner as Admiral Flandry.

And there was a FIRST layer to the Flandry stories: I mean the original versions of "Tigrer By The Tail," "Honorable Enemies," and "Warriors From Nowhere." Texts which Anderson later revised.
I've been wondering, have you read all three of these original texts? Another story, "The White King's War," was revised and incorporated as part of A CIRCUS OF HELLS.

Sean,
I have read those 3 original texts and am trying to get hold off "The White King's War" in a NESFA collection.
THE NIGHT FACE also had an earlier shorter form.

Kaor, Paul!
You can find "The White King's War" in Volume 5 of NESFA Press' THE COLLECTED SHORT WORKS OF POUL ANDERSON: DOOR TO ANYWHERE.
Dang it! I overlooked how THE NIGHT FACE has an original, shorter form, "A Twelvemonth And A Day," FANTASTIC UNIVERSE, January 1960. I am esp. frustrated because I kept saying Anderson revised or incorporated into a longer form five of his Technic stories. And it was SIX, not five stories.
Btw, I've never read "A Twelvemonth And A Day."
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
I am trying to get vol 5.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
I hope you get it soon. I've ordered six or seven books from NESFA Press, and they always gave me good, prompt service.
Ad astra! Sean
