Having reread earlier posts, I find that I am rediscovering facts that I had discovered before and am still unsure whether the "Great Swindle" occurred in the first story or between stories but am not about to pursue that now.
"Witch of the Demon Seas" is online but we have previously discussed it here.
"The Virgin of Valkarion" is online but we have previously discussed it here.
"The Valor of Cappen Varra" is online but we have previously discussed it here.
I have checked and confirmed that "Security" refers to a "Hemispheric War" as well as featuring those owl-like Martians. Some background information is common to several early stories.
I think that we have exhausted online stuff for the time being.
Kaor, Paul!
ReplyDeleteAlso, by 1958 Anderson was at or nearing the end of the early phase of his writing career, finding his true voice as a writer, of what ideas and themes appealed most to him.
