Prequels In The Future History, Psychotechnic History And Technic History

DD Harriman dies on the Moon in "Requiem" (1940) and puts the first man on the Moon in "The Man Who Sold the Moon" (1950).

Stefan Rostomily has died on Mars in "Un-Man" (1953) and was active in Europe in "Marius" (1957).

Trevelyan Michah says that, when he has a assistant on a mission, it is usually an otherling in The Peregrine (1956) and this had happened in "The Pirate" (1968).

Adzel's student days on Earth are referred to in "The Trouble Twisters" (1965) and described in "How To Be Ethnic In One Easy Lesson" (1978).

The Young Flandry novels were written after the Captain Flandry series. An earlier operation of Aychraych was written after the story in which Flandry first met Aycharaych.

Kaor, Paul!

I thought Harriman's cremated remains were buried on the Moon? THE MAN WHO SOLD THE MOON ends with one of his business partners forcing him to agree to stay on Earth, because only his unique combination of talents and chutzpah would allow their enterprises to survive.

Sean,

In "Requiem," Harriman at last makes it to the Moon and dies there.

Dang, my memory was at fault! The dissatisfaction I have for Heinlein's later works has caused me to neglect his earlier, far better stories.

Ad astra! Sean
