"The Star Plunderer" was written not knowing that it would become part of a future history series.
"Wingless" and "Rescue on Avalon" were written knowing that they were instalments of a sub-series within the Technic History.
The Afterword to The Earth Book Of Stormgate was written to conclude a Technic History omnibus collection.
Later, that same Afterword was republished at the mid-point of Volume III of a complete collection of the Technic History.
Thus, here we discern four stages in the growth of the Technic History from a number of separate stories into a single multi-volume work.

Kaor, Paul!
And both of us, along with some others, have written detailed commentaries about varied aspects of the Technic stories. That adds another layer, how some readers reacted to those stories.
Ad astra! Sean
