All the stories on the FP are about labor relations and corporate shenanigans. So anyway, do you like Star Trek or Star Wars better? Anybody still ike to read old school sci fi, for example I really love Poul Anderson’s Polesotechnic League stories - the swashbuckling adventures of intersteller trador Nicholas van Rijn and his Solar Spice and Liquors company, David Falkayne, et al. Good old basic space opera.

      Thanks. I just found the entire series, 😋 but with some odd numbering?:

      Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 01 - The Trouble Twisters
      Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 02 - War Of The Wing-Men
      Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 03 - Trader To The Stars
      Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 04 - Satan’s World
      Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 05 - Mirkheim
      Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - 06 - The Earth Book Of Stormgate
      Anderson, Poul - Polesotechnic League - People in the Wind

      Completely different numbering than for instance the recommended here?

      Which would you recommend?
      By publication date or chronological story line?

        I always try to go by publication.

        Someone put it this way [they were talking specifically about the Conan stories]. If you meet someone and get to chatting you don’t tell your story in chronological order. Maybe the first story you tell is about what happened at work, or your most recent vacation. After you’ve known them a while you talk about grade school.

        That’s my opinion.
