First of all let me congratulate Hank Davis on his editorial work in compiling these stories in proper order. Two factors hold this series together, the Polesotechnic League and the Van Rijn/Falkayn clan.
This book was received in new condition within the normal time. It brings together many of the stories published in different places.
More stories and another novel from the Van Rijn/David Falkayn Polseotechnic League universe, happening after those in "The Van Rijn Method". Typical Anderson, but I find Van Rijn (who's still around in some of these stories) particularly annoying.
...The next volume, Rise of the Terran Empire, will introduce the next phase in Technic History.
I fell onto this while reading about the inspirations for the space RPG "Traveller." I'd not read any of these stories, but I think I've read some of Anderson earlier.
This is the second book in the new compilation of Poul Anderson's Technic Civilization stories, and it's going to be hard to top. Apart from the titular Falkayn and his alien trader-pioneer partners, Chee Lan and Adzel the dragon, it features Nicholas Van Rijn himself again in most of the stories, and he is at his best.
