The Holms

"Rescue on Avalon."

"'I'm Ivar Holm.'" (p. 313)

There have been three ways to read this. story:

(i) in its original appearance;
(ii) in The Earth Book Of Stormgate;
(iii) in The Technic Civilization Saga, Volume III, Rise Of The Terran Empire.
 
(i) The Acknowledgements in the Earth Book and in Rise... state that "Wingless on Avalon" was first published in the original anthology, Children Of Infinity, edited by Roger Elwood, 1973, and that "Rescue on Avalon" was first published in Boy's Life, July 1973, whereas Sandra Miesel's Chronology of Technic Civilization places "Wingless..." in Boy's Life and "Rescue..." in Children Of Infinity.
 
Either way, in its original publication, the surname "Holm" is of no significance.

Interruption. Continued later.
