Technic History Titles

Nicholas van Rijn is the title character of:

Trader To The Stars, a collection;
The Man Who Counts, a novel;
The Van Rijn Method, an omnibus collection.
 
David Falkayn is one of the title characters of the collection, The Trouble Twisters, and the single title character of the omnibus collection, David Falkayn: Star Trader.
 
Ensign Flandry is the first Dominic Flandry novel and Young Flandry is the first Flandry omnibus collection, its contents previously collected as The Imperial Stars.
 
The later Flandry novel, A Knight Of Ghost And Shadows, has had two alternative titles, Knight Flandry and Chevalier De L'Empire Terrien (Knight Of The Terran Empire).
 
The two Flandry collections are Flandry Of Terra and Agent Of The Terran Empire. (They might be combined as Agent Flandry?)
 
The remaining omnibus collection titles are:
 
Rise Of The Terran Empire
Captain Flandry: Defender Of The Terran Empire
Sir Dominic Flandry: Last Knight Of Terra
Flandry's Legacy
 
 
My point (do I have one?) is: watch out for "Flandry," "Terra" and "Terran Empire" when reading through Technic History titles.

Kaor, Paul!

What a ghastly cover some hack chose for that French edition of CHEVALIER DE L'EMPIRE TERRIEN! At least as bad as the Baen Books covers for the Flandry stories! Bad enough to make me SNARL with anger!

Ad astra! Sean
