Disparate Plot Elements

In The Earth Book Of Stormgate, the first four instalments successively introduce:

the race of Ythrians;

the planet, Avalon;

the Wodenite, Adzel;

the Terrestrial, Nicholas van Rijn.

The earlier collection, The Trouble Twisters, had introduced the Hermetian, David Falkayn. These five disparate plot elements, a species, a planet and three individuals, combine and recombine. Thus, just staying within the Earth Book:

the eighth instalment features the trader team of Falkayn, Adzel and Chee Lan;

the tenth instalment features the trader team, van Rijn and Ythrians;

in the eleventh instalment, Falkayn has led the joint human-Ythrian colonization of Avalon and his grandson is growing up on that planet.

And so on into the future beyond the Earth Book. We will stay with Avalon for a while but not any more this evening.
