It is late here so this post will not be long. I am always fascinated by the intricate structure of the first main section of Poul Anderson's Technic History -
PL: 8 installments in 4 volumes, 8 more in the Earth Book;
Ythrians: 1 novel, then 4 short stories in the Earth Book;
Other: 3 installments, 0 in the Earth Book.
Thus, this section of the History comprises 24 installments, 12 in the Earth Book. That collection contains, or conceals within itself, a second Polesotechnic League (PL) series comprising the first van Rijn short story, the first van Rijn novel, an introductory Adzel story, two pivotal trader team stories and three stories with no continuing characters.
None of this is new but I am practicing publishing a short post once again. I hope to publish more soon.

Kaor, Paul!
Welcome back! I'm glad the cable repairs has been completed.
While I've started rereading Anderson's "The Saturn Game," my primary focus in reading has been the massive first volume of Solzhenitsyn's MARCH 1917. Chapter by chapter I see horror and tragedy relentlessly coming to Russia.
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
I am back but in haste this morning! Lancashire Libraries' copy of LENIN IN ZURICH may have been lost in transit. I still have not received it.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
Dang, it should not be that hard to borrow a book! I look forward to any comments you care to make about it when you finally do get LENIN IN ZURICH.
Ad astra! Sean
Good to see you back!
