Future History Richness

The tripartite comparison in Three Scenarios highlights the richness of future history series as against one-off works. In the Technic History, one single omnibus collection, The Earth Book of Stormgate, encompasses:

first contact with Ythri

second contact with Merseia

exploration and two-stage colonization of Avalon

Adzel's student days on Earth

Nicholas van Rijn's adventure on Diomedes

the conflict between van Rijn's company and the Baburites

the discovery of Mirkheim

three other incidents in the Polesotechnic League period

new introductions and an afterword substantially enhancing the history

Imagine a comparable volume for the World Without Stars and After Doomsday scenarios.
