Fiction. Science Fiction. HTML:

Sir Dominic Flandry is now an Admiral, but takes little joy in his new rank. He sees the rot in the Terran Empire on every hand and knows that the Long Night will inevitably fall upon the galaxy. His consolation is that measures he has taken while doing what he can to postpone the Empire's final collapse may shorten the coming galactic dark age and hasten the rise of a new interstellar civilization. In the meantime, he'll enjoy the comforts of a decadent civilization-and he'll always be ready for one more battle against the Empire's enemies.

This concluding volume of the Technic Civilization saga, one of the milestones of modern science fiction includes two full-length novels:

  • A Stone in Heaven - When the daughter of Flandry's mentor asks for help, he intervenes, and finds he must thwart a would-be dictator's plans to seize control of the Empire.
    • The Game of Empire -The Merseians, alien enemies of the Empire, have put into motion an insidious plan to bring the Terran Empire down. Flandry's daughter, Diana, and her feline-like alien friend have discovered the conspiracy, but can they stop it in time?

      Plus three novellas and a novelette set in the time of the Long Night and the renaissance of civilization which followed it, concluding one of the grandest adventure sagas in science fiction.

      At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

    A Stone in Heaven and The Game of Empire are two novels read previously. The rest of the book were not Flandry stories but include: A Tragedy of Errors with Roan Tom, The Night Face with a planet population that suffers periodic insanity when a certain plant blooms (Let the Spacemen Beware),
    The Sharing of Flesh, Starfog and Chronology of Technic Civilization, and The Price of Buying Time. Each of these was interesting and a good reason for buying a book with two major, already read, novels. ( )

    The dramatic conclusion to Flandry's saga, with a few tales set in the Long Night (and one beyond). An interesting future history construction. ( )

    ...And there we have it, Anderson's entire Technic Civilization sage. It's an impressive body of work. Although Anderson repeats himself a number of times, overall I enjoyed reading these stories. They range from rather pulpish (the 1950s Flandry short stories) to the poetic and slightly fantastical story The Saturn Game, which opens the entire saga (see The Van Rijn Method). Reading through these collections, the various stages in Anderson's development as a write are clear to see. I can't say that I enjoyed very story on this long journey but it certainly is an achievement in 20th century science fiction that is not to be overlooked. Baen did us a service by collecting them all in this manner. For the real Poul Anderson fan this series is a treasure...

    Classic novels (two of them) and shorter stories by a master of the genre. Set in a far future Terran Empire (patterned on the nineteenth century British Empire with an admixture of mid-twentieth century America), Sir Dominic Flandry is an admiral in the space navy of what he sees as a decaying regime
