Flandry In The Technic History

The Technic Civilization Saga Volumes:

I-III, various pre-Flandry periods;

IV-VI, the Flandry period;

VII, the Flandry period + 4 post-Flandry.

The earliest written and published Flandry story is collected on pp. 241-276 of Vol V. The contents of Vol IV and Vol V, pp. 1-240, were written later but are set earlier. A future history series, especially a long one like the Technic History, can be constructed out of sequence.

In Vol V, the reader proceeds directly from The Day of Their Return, published in 1975, to "Tiger By The Tail," published in January, 1951. The reader has to appreciate both the fictional chronological sequence and the actual publication order, two dimensions of the author's achievement.
