Kaor, Paul!
and we should understand "Sargasso" as a fiction written centuries after Manuel Argos' time, a story set by a later writer in the Early Empire. A fiction within the fiction.
Happy New Year! Sean
Sean,
The Empire did annex Ansa but the Black Nebula is probably fiction.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
And many real world fictions also make mention of actual historical and current events. Which is how we should understand that annexation of Ansa in "Sargasso."
Happy New Year! Sean
It’s probably a metaphor for a ‘consider the alternative’ reconciliation to membership in the empire. For want of a better, as the French saying goes.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
Yes, that's another way of understanding or interpreting "Sargasso." Because some means would have to be found that would not make it too difficult to include that story in the Technic series.
Happy New Year! Sean
