Collected Short Works Of Poul Anderson Books in Order

Early science fiction stories and verse trace the range of Anderson’s shorter work. The collection brings together Call Me Joe, Time Patrol, The Sharing of Flesh and other tales, alongside poems and introductory reflections on the author.

Nineteen works combine science fiction, poetry and essays in this collection led by The Queen of Air and Darkness. Stories such as The Burning Bridge and Industrial Revolution accompany reflections on imagined science and the relationship between fiction and history.

The Saturn Game, No Truce with Kings and Hunter’s Moon lead this collection of Anderson’s shorter science fiction. Other adventures bring together explorations, encounters and conflicts across his imagined worlds, presenting a varied selection of stories rather than a single continuing narrative.

Humanity’s conflicts with alien empires share this collection with time travelers, magical worlds and a man determined to recover his lost love. Stories including Admiralty, Goat Song and Delenda Est explore choices that can alter lives and entire histories.

Stories revisit time travelers Manse Everard and Wanda Tamberly, agent Dominic Flandry, trader Nicholas van Rijn and the Hokas. Magical adventures with Stephen Matuchek and Virginia Graylock add another setting to this collection spanning Anderson’s science fiction and fantasy.

An invasion threatens an asteroid community in the humorous title story, where beer and a talking parrot complicate resistance. Other collected adventures include the original magazine version of Three Hearts and Three Lions, planetary wars and interstellar traders.

Questions about first contact lead a collection ranging from Venus’s terraforming to interstellar trading and multigenerational voyages. Dominic Flandry encounters his enduring enemy, while other short novels and stories explore the political and personal challenges of humanity’s expanding worlds.
