The Earth Book Of Stormgate following the Polesotechnic League Tetralogy and The People Of The Wind;
The Long Night following the Flandry period and The Night Face;
The Saturn Game as a very short volume to be read first.
Thus:
the Tetralogy and the Earth Book tell the story of the League;
The People Of The Wind introduces Ythrians, Avalon and the Terran Empire;
the Earth Book recounts how Ythrians were contacted and Avalon was explored, then colonized;
The Long Night recounts how the Terran Empire was founded;
The Night Face and The Long Night recount what happened after the Empire.
That is everything with minimum reorganization of the original book publication order.
Addendum: Correction. That was not everything. It left out "Sargasso of Lost Starships" which I suppose would have to be included in The Long Night after "The Star Plunderer."
Kaor, Paul!
ReplyDeleteAnd the original texts of the five Technic stories Anderson revised or incorporated into another story should also be preserved. For readers convenience I listed them below.
"Margin of Profit"
"The White King's War"
"Tiger By The Tail"
"Honorable Enemies"
"Warriors From Nowhere"
Also, at long last, I finally got a copy of Stirling's TO TURN THE TIDE yesterday! I look forward to reading it after I finish Chambers' THE KING IN YELLOW (forty more pages to go).
Ad astra! Sean
