Van Rijn Off Earth

See Van Rijn On Earth Or In Space.

Having slept on it, there is another distinction to be made:

Van Rijn In A Spaceship
"Margin of Profit"
"Hiding Place"
"Lodestar"
 
Van Rijn On Another Planet
The Man Who Counts
"Territory"
 
Both 
Satan's World
Mirkheim
 
Another planetary surface and the interior of a spaceship are such totally dissimilar environments that reading about them is also a completely different experience. After "Margin of Profit," we might reread "Hiding Place."

Kaor, Paul!

And those space ships needed to be VERY well stocked with all of Old Nick's favorite foods, snacks, and various kinds of booze! I remember van Rijn's outraged lamentations at the end of SATAN'S WORLD, on finding out he would have to travel three weeks or so with nothing to drink but WATER.

Ad astra! Sean
