Young Flandry

About this book

Meet Dominic Flandry at the very start of his legendary career. Young Flandry gathers three classic Technic Civilization novels by Poul Anderson: Ensign Flandry, A Circus of Hells and The Rebel Worlds. Together they follow a brash, charming and gloriously flawed young officer of the Terran Empire's Naval Intelligence as he learns his trade among spies, rebels, aliens and the powerful. The Empire is old and tired. Flandry knows its flaws and has no illusions about its future, yet he fights for it anyway, with wit, daring and an eye for good food, fine clothes and friendly company. Beyond the Empire's borders, the ambitious Merseians and countless wild peoples press inward, while at home idealists and schemers alike threaten to make matters worse. This volume brings classic space opera in the spirit of a science-fictional James Bond, set against the long twilight of a galactic civilization. It also includes the introduction "Enter a Hero, Somewhat Flawed" by Hank Davis and "A Chronology of Technic Civilization" by Sandra Miesel, a handy guide for new readers and long-time fans alike. Whether you are discovering Poul Anderson's famous future history for the first time or returning to an old favourite, this omnibus is a thrilling place to begin.
