In the immediately preceding post:
Poul Anderson's Old Phoenix multiverse and Technic History;
Alan Moore's "last Superman story";
CS Lewis' Ransom Trilogy.
Two media: prose fiction and sequential art story telling;
three genres: sf, fantasy and superheroes;
one issue: the relationship between the natural and the supernatural or
the range of the human imagination.
Ransom speaks with an eldil.
Lois Lane remembers the Kryptonian.
The Old Phoenix hosts guests who are fictional to each other.
The Technic History involves technological advances and diverse religious beliefs - we read to the end of "Starfog" and want to continue.

Kaor, Paul!
I recall how Stirling mentioned he would love to write a Dominic Flandry pastiche. Perhaps in a second MULTIVERSE collection? That got me to wondering where he might place such a story in the gaps, mysteries, and lacunae we can find in the Technic series.*
Considering how well he handled Manse Everard and the Time Patrol in "A Slip in Time," I think he would do a very good story featuring Flandry and the Terran Empire.
Ad asta! Sean
*I don't object to those gaps, mysteries, etc. The lacunae found in the Technic stories leaves room for seemingly endless fanboy geeky speculation!
Ad astra! Sean
