In Sir Dominic Flandry: The Last Knight of Terra:
"The Plague of Masters" (short novel)
"Hunters of the Sky Cave" (short novel)
"The Warriors from Nowhere" (short story)
A Knight of Ghosts and Shadows (longer novel)
"Hunters..." and A Knight... are structurally similar. In both, Flandry, Chives and the heroine travel in the Hooligan from Terra to the heroine's home planet.
Chives and the Hooligan come on-stage in "Hunters..." and remain there until A Stone in Heaven, the first instalment to be collected in Volume VII. At present, my attention is refocusing on "Hunters..."

God, but that cover sucked dead dogs. Thank God they've improved.
Sucked dead dogs!
Has the SAGA come out in a new edition with improved covers? I need new copies. Mine are becoming separate pages, sellotape and dust.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
Absolutely! That has to be one of the most ghastly book covers I've ever seen. Makes it easy for me to think some enemy of Anderson chose that and most of the other SAGA covers.
Ad astra! Sean
Paul: their -new- covers have improved.
I wonder if the Freudian pose with the sword is intentional or not?
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
** I ** am sure whoever designed or chose the truly appalling cover for SIR DOMINIC FLANDRY meant the kinky sexual innuendos with malice aforethought!
Ad astra! Sean
The Baen covers are pretty bad; one would have thought the estate would have exercised more due diligence.
Kaor, Dave!
I wish that had been done!
Ad astra! Sean
Baen Books was inherited in toto by Toni Weisskopf after Jim Baen's death, btw. There was no "estate".
Their covers have improved recently, as I mentioned.
You can take a look here. They're still... ah... colorful, but none of the grotesque stuff that series of Poul's reprints got stuck with:

Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
But Dave and I meant we wished Anderson's estate/heirs had objected to those awful covers.
And I will drop by the Baen website to check out more recent covers.
Ad astra! Sean
