Apology To John Ridenour

In Young Flandry, I listed consequential characters who are introduced in Ensign Flandry:

Flandry

Tachwyr

Persis

Max Abrams

Dragoika

- but forgot John Ridenour - but have now added him. My experience of summarizing interconnections in Poul Anderson's Technic History is that it is necessary to write several drafts in order to include every relevant detail. Fortunately, blogging allows us to revise what has already been written. Blog readers should also draw attention to omissions or errors.

Ridenour is important because he converses with Flandry, then becomes a viewpoint character in a later narrative set on another planet which in turn is referred back to in the post-Imperial period.

The Technic History excels in interconnectedness - as I keep saying.
