Serendipity And Some POVs

In recent posts, the telekinetic "haunting" of the spaceship in Poul Anderson's "Sargasso of Lost Starships" led to listing a few works where the genuinely supernatural has intruded into sf scenarios. My mention of a Jet-Ace Logan story reminded Sean M. Brooks of Anderson's "Superstition," which I had forgotten but then reread, and I also reread Anderson's "Fantasy in the Age of Science" because it is relevant and comes immediately after "Superstition" in the collection, Fantasy. Thus, "Sargasso...," from which I had not expected a great deal, has had some serendipitous spin-offs. Perhaps it is time to return to the interrupted "Sargasso..." but maybe not this evening. I am always trying to get back to other reading which it is sometimes interesting to compare with Poul Anderson.

POV Cop Routine 

In the opening sentence of the first narrative section of "Sargasso...," Martin hears whereas, in the concluding sentence of that section, Savage hopes so there has been shift of point of view (pov). 

In the opening sentence of the second narrative section:

"He went over the flight plan with Martin." (p. 237)

- "He" being Savage so we might expect his pov to continue. However, this section reverts to Martin's pov.

Later sections give us other povs but only the first section has a shift of pov. On p. 241, there should maybe be a double space between two paragraphs to indicate a change between narrative sections. That exhausts my pov analysis of this story.
