Chance Or Change II And Another Collection

 

The combox to Chance Or Change reminded me that I possess a fourth edition of "The Sharing of Flesh":

"True, the captives had been getting a balanced diet for a change..."
-Poul Anderson, "The Sharing of Flesh" IN Anderson, Winners (New York, 1981), pp. 143-188 AT p. 182.

I also have a Technic History collection, The Long Night, which is inaccurately entitled because it excludes "The Night Face" and includes "The Star Plunderer" and "Outpost of Empire." However, Sandra Miesel's Prologue and interstitial material make this book a single-volume summary of the Technic History as we will see.

Long Night and New Dawn!

Kaor, Paul!

My Sphere Books copy of THE LONG NIGHT also, inaccurately, includes "The Star Plunderer"* and "Outpost of Empire" while excluding THE NIGHT FACE. Quite unsatisfactory!

Ad astra! Sean


*"The Star Plunderer" has an alternative title, "Collar of Iron," which is much better and might have been PA's preferred title.
