I forgot to list "The Sharing of Flesh" before THE NIGHT FACE!<br /><br />I'm disappointed at how so many people still cite only Asimov's Foundation books as an example of a "future history." And neglect any mention of Anderson's Technic Civilization stories.<br /><br />Besides Anderson, Asimov, and Heinlein, other SF authors have written "future histories": the Co-Dominium series of Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and S.M. Stirling, the DUNE books of Frank Herbert, and H. Beam Piper's "Space Viking" and other works also came to mind. And more could be listed!<br /><br />SeanSean M.

Exactly which stories would you put i...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />Exactly which stories would you put in the three volumes of the first "boxed set"? <br /><br />The contents of YOUNG FLANDRY AND THE TERRAN EMPIRE are obvious: ENSIGN FLANDRY, A CIRCUS OF HELLS, and THE REBEL WORLDS. The contents of ADMIRAL FLANDRY AND THE MOLITOR DYNASTY are also obvious: A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS, A STONE IN HEAVEN, and THE GAME OF EMPIRE. CAPTAIN FLANDRY AND THE TERRAN EMPIRE would include the intermediate Flandry stories and the non Flandy tales.<br /><br />I agree with your suggestion about THE POST IMPERIAL AGE, including the original texts of the stories revised by Anderson after "A Tragedy of Errors," THE NIGHT FACE, and "Star Fog." And I like the idea of including articles and commentaries about the Technic Civilization stories.<br /><br />In fact, whole volumes could be used for collecting commentaries and publishing letters to and from Poul Anderson.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
