(i) Sub-light spaceships:
11 instalments = 4 UN + 7 Solar Union.
(ii) Supra-light spaceships:
10 instalments = 2 early + 8 Stellar Union.
(iii) Supra-light human beings!:
1 instalment = Galactic civilization.
I reason thus:
"The Chapter Ends" is probably in Sandra Miesel's Chronology because it was in Poul Anderson's Chronology in Startling Stories, Winter 1955;
if "The Chapter Ends" was in Anderson's Chronlogy, then it is part of the Psychotechnic History;
"The Chapter Ends" features psychotechnicians;
its Galactic civilization is a possible outcome long after the Stellar Union and the Third Dark Ages, just as the period of the Commonalty comes long after the Long Night in Anderson's Technic History.
Kaor. Paul!
ReplyDeleteIF "The Chapter Ends" was included by Anderson in the chronology he pub. in STARTLING STORES (Winter 1955), Then I would have to resignedly accept that story as part of the Psychotechnic series.
