Interesting aside - Anderson linked two of his Future Histories together by having the character Dominic Flandry mention the Polysotechnic League and Nicholas Van Rijn as components from a previous era. If I can find the story where this takes place, I'll update this talk page with the name.
- There is a further link in The People of the Wind. This takes place on Yithri, an important world in the Van Rijin stories, and on Avalon, a miked Yithri/human colony founded by David Falkyn and mentioned in some of the stories in The Earth Book of Stormgate, but one of the characters is an ancestor of Flandry's, as is mentioned in the critical introduction to The Earth Book of Stormgate. There are a number of other links, for example the events of "Day of Burning" (a Van Rijin/Falkyn story) create the Merserian empire that is the major antagonist of Flandry's Terran Empire (Persia to the TE's Rome).
