Avalon In The Technic History

The planet Avalon:

appears in three short stories and one novel although at four different stages of its history;

is the setting for the compilation of The Earth Book Of Stormgate;

is described briefly by Erannath in The Day Of Their Return;

is mentioned as an interesting biracial culture by Dominic Flandry in A Stone In Heaven;

and is never seen or heard from again -

- but that is a lot of coverage for a single planet in Poul Anderson's Technic History.

David Falkayn's home planet, Hermes, appears in two novels.

Kaor, Paul!

And we see Terra most often in the Technic stories: "Margin of Profit," SATAN'S WORLD, "The Master Key," MIRKHEIM, "The Star Plunderer," ENSIGN FLANDRY, THE REBEL WORLDS, HUNTERS OF THE SKY CAVE, etc.

Ad astra! Sean
