2. Included is a complete novel, Satan's World, and a number of equally exciting short novels.
3. A book with strong appeal to readers of David Drake's RCN series.
4. Many of the works in this volume have been out of print for years, and none have been previously gathered together in chronological sequence. Long-time Anderson fans will welcome old friends, and newer Anderson fans will find a host of prime, real science fiction by one of the field's very best.

The Polesotechnic League of star traders was prospering, and Nicholas Van Rijn, its most flamboyant member, was prospering most of all as commerce flowed between the stars. But not all League members played fair when trading, nor did some of the non-human races of the galaxy object to dirty tricks. Van Rijn could not be everywhere, and relied on his representatives, foremost among them his young protégé, David Falkayn, and the members of David’s trader team: Adzel, a large dragon-like being who practiced Buddhism, and Chee-Lan, a brilliant but hot-tempered felinesque extraterrestrial.
This is the second volume in the first complete edition of Poul Anderson’s Technic Civilization saga. And, after the three volumes chronicling the Polesotechnic League’s rise and fall will come more volumes, telling of the rise of the Terran Empire and the adventures of Poul Anderson’s other legendary character, Captain Sir Dominic Flandry.
