The Game of Empire, CHAPTER EIGHT.
In this chapter, a woman named Helen Kittredge from the planet Vixen spends some of her Naval leave on the planet Ansa. This is a good triple reuse of information from previous instalments of a future history series -
Mirkheim: Henry Kittredge from Vixen on Mirkheim and Hermes, also onion soup a la Ansa;
"Sargasso of Lost Starships": the planet Ansa;
The People of the Wind: a spaceship named Ansa;
"Hunters of the Sky Cave": Kit Kittredge from Vixen in space and on Vixen;
The Game of Empire: Helen Kittredge from Vixen in space and on Ansa.
Finally, the central character of the concluding instalment of the Technic History is from New Vixen. Thus -
"Starfog": Daven Laure from New Vixen in space and on Kirkasant.
This rich Vixenite-Ansan narrative thread links six of the forty-three instalments of the Technic History.

Kaor, Paul!
I agree such linkages enriches the Technic series, and I like how Anderson did it in such an unobtrusive way.

Very deft of Poul. Also economical.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
