I knew, of course, of how dissatisfie...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />I knew, of course, of how dissatisfied Poul Anderson was with the first edition of THE MAN WHO COUNTS, the "Wing Men" version. It would be interesting if someone compared the mangled text of THE WAR OF THE WING MEN with THE MAN WHO COUNTS, and gave us some examples of how the two texts differed.<br /><br />Considering how different "Sargasso Of Lost Star Ships" was from the rest of the Technic Civilization stories, I sympathize for those who had difficulty making sense of the story! Still, it does ties in with the Technic stories: one example being how Shalmuans were seen at the beginning of the tale. And we see the planet Shalmu in THE REBEL WORLDS and Flandry's invaluable valet/chef/pilot, etc., Chives, is a Shalmuan.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
