One of the great modern works of the imagination, this book tells of the trader van Rijn and the adventurer Falkayne; it rounds and completes the future history of the Polesotechnic League that spans four thousand years of Earth's interstellar empire; and it chronicles Mankind's encounters with the great-winged Ythri, who kept record at far Stormgate. The Earth Book of Stormgate (many stories do not feature Van Rijn) (1978). It collects: * "Wings of Victory" (1972) * "The Problem of Pain" (1973) * "How to be Ethnic in One Easy Lesson" (1974) * "Margin of Profit" (1956) * "Esau" (also known as "Birthright") (1970) * "The Season of Forgiveness" (1973) * The Man Who Counts (first appearance of the unedited version of War of the Wing-Men) (1958) * "A Little Knowledge" (1971) * "Day of Burning" (also known as "Supernova") (1967) * "Lodestar (Anderson)" (1973) * "Wingless" (also known as "Wingless on Avalon") (1973) * "Rescue on Avalon" (1973)
