In Poul Anderson's Technic History, the David Falkayn sub-series becomes the trader team sub-series which merges with the Nicholas van Rijn sub-series, then both merge with the Ythrian sub-series in "Lodestar." Later, David's descendants, first Nat, then Tabitha, are associated with Ythrians. This first part of the Technic History is more multi-faceted than the second part which is more focused on a single individual, Dominic Flandry, although we are also shown some of Flandry's contemporaries, including his daughter, and the longer term consequences both of Flandry's actions in particular and of Technic civilization in general.
This is a quick breakfast post before gym and other activities.

Kaor, Paul!
I still think you are overstressing the Ythrian stories. Also, Anderson made it plain he had a special liking for Nicholas van Rijn and Dominic Flandry.
