The former is more descriptive and the latter is shorter.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

I think you made a mistake with your ...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />I think you made a mistake with your proposed title for Volume VI: EMPEROR FLANDRY AMD THE CHILDREN OF THE TERRAN EMPIRE. Dominic Flandry had no ambition or wish to become Emperor, and certainly not by a violent usurpation of the throne. Perhaps you meant EMPEROR HANS AND THE CHILDREN OF THE TERRAN EMPIRE? <br /><br />And I favor THE POST-IMPERIAL AGE as a title for Volume VII.<br /><br />Yes, two characters "set the tone" for the Technic Civilization series, Nicholas van Rijn and Dominic Flandry. Yes, I agree that PA, partly by accident, created a "higher synthesis" of the literary form invented by Heinlein.<br /><br />I said "partly by accident," because van Rijn and Flandry stories were originally separate series. It was PA's decisio to mention Old Nick in THE PLAGUE OF MASTERS, which linked or brought them together. With very fruitful results!<br /><br />SeanSean M.
