A Unique Synthesis

I cannot help saying yet again that Poul Anderson's Technic History is a future history series with a unique and fascinating structure.

The Polesotechnic League Tetralogy climaxes and concludes with Mirkheim.

The People Of The Wind is a one-off novel set centuries later about human beings and Ythrians on Avalon.

The Earth Book Of Stormgate is a retrospective omnibus collection that tells us everything that we did not already know about the League, Ythri and Avalon. With each story, including one novel, introduced by an Avalonian Ythrian historian, this volume is a perfect synthesis of the future history so far.
