Stories Of Interstellar Travel

What we need, of course, is a multi-volume Complete Works of Poul Anderson, to include one volume, most appropriately entitled The Rustum History, which would collect the eight Rustum instalments and "The Queen of Air and Darkness." This ninth story is set on a different colonized extra-solar planet and in a much later period but in the same future history as the Rustum stories.

What we have is three volumes:

Orbit Unlimited

the first four Rustum instalments

New America

the second four Rustum instalments (= Dan Coffin sub-series)

"The Queen of Air and Darkness"

"Home"

"Our Many Roads to the Stars" (essay)

The Queen Of Air And Darkness and other stories

the two non-Rustum stories that are in New America

four further stories which we have previously discussed in:

A Future History Or Not?

Poul Anderson's Ninth Future History

Publisher's Notes in New America attempt, not quite successfully, to link "Home" to Rustum and "The Queen..."  "Home" is another story about extrasolar colonization but one that moves sideways in time.

Curiously, in New America - at least in my edition (TOR, New York, December 1982) - whereas each left-hand page is headed "Poul Anderson," the right-hand pages of the four Rustum stories are headed "New America" but the right-hand pages of the subsequent works are each headed with the title of that particular work, thus:

"The Queen of Air and Darkness"

"Home"

"Our Many Roads to the Stars"

Our next task is to reread "Home" to check its details and either to review or to confirm which future history series it belongs in.
