Technic History: Volumes And Instalments
The seven Saga covers, reproduced again here, deplorable though Volumes IV-VII are, do present a visual summary of the series:
I Nicholas van Rijn
II David Falkayn
III Ythrians
IV-VII Dominic Flandry, from youth to age
This list omits the pre-League period at the beginning of Volume I and the post-Imperial period in the second half of Vol VII but does nevertheless cover the principal periods of the Technic History.
Poul Anderson's works draw their readers' attention from the remote past to the remote future and back again in multiple timelines. We should return to Conan in the Hyborian Age (a remote past) tomorrow (a near future).
