Chronolgical Inconsistencies

"The Green Thumb."

See An Alien.

Or, rather, after "Gypsy" in 2815, everything else has to be moved to much later in the Chronology. But there are still inconsistencies. In the two Wilson Pete stories, the whole Galaxy has been explored and Nerthus is recently settled. In The Peregrine, Nerthus, now heavily settled, is two months travel from Sol on the Sagittarian frontier of the Stellar Union. Of course maybe there was a lot of earlier Galactic exploration beyond the frontier? We can keep trying to make the narratives consistent.

If the concluding instalment, "The Chapter Ends," is to be included, then its own text makes clear that this story is set many millennia later than either the Chronology or Sandra Miesel's interstitial passage suggests.

It all adds up to a future history series, inconsistencies notwithstanding.
