	SPACELIGHT: Anderson, Poul - personal data
		Poul believed that men, and those who aspired to that title, were born with obligations and had a duty to fulfill those obligations...no matter the cost, no matter the time, and could not find honor by doing otherwise.
		Anderson's first story, "Tomorrow's Children," was published in Astounding SF in 1947...a year before he graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in physics.
		Moskowitz said in Seekers of Tomorrow (1961+) that "Anderson's interest in using historical cultures as the background for his science fiction has given him the stature in the field that his previous diversity of effort did not bring him." Anderson was also working in other fields that included non-fiction, historical sagas, and mysteries.

		Anderson almost lost me a couple of times in this book in his attempted discussions of the physics involved in the starship drive engines, but redeemed the tale with a counterpoint analysis of the emotional effects on the ship's crew members.

		As he says in the introduction, the basic setting was not unique, and Anderson has re-imagined it into a world of his own.
		Anderson has added enough twists and convolutions to a basic SF formula to fill a Robert-Jordan-sized series.
		This last Anderson novel may not be a classic, like Star Fox or Tau Zero, nonetheless it is an entertaining novel by one of the grand masters of science fiction.

	Kyrie by Poul Anderson
		Poul Anderson is one of the standard hard science fiction writers, in the tradition of Kipling, in the tradition of Campbell, in the tradition of Heinlein.
		Anderson has always defended the traditions of military honor in his fiction, and devoted much of his effort to adventure plots.
		The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction calls him "sf's most prolific writer of any consistent quality." If any living sf writer is the heir to Heinlein's mantle as the dean of science fiction, it is Poul Anderson.

	Agent of the Terran Empire by Poul Anderson (Olson)
		In Anderson's main future history, the renaissance of the Polesotechnic League is followed by collapse and the formation of a new interstellar government in the Terran Empire.
		Anderson is mature enough to realize that the Empire is no more than an expedient to stave off the final collapse of civilization; that it is not a desirable government in itself.
		(It's interesting that Anderson sees both the decline from the fairly democratic Commonwealth/Polesotechnic League to the autocratic Empire and the fall of the Empire as inevitable.) That understanding is manifest in Dominic Flandry, an unlikely sybarite hero who likes all of the pleasures of the flesh while saving the Empire from enemies foreign and domestic.

		Anderson claims in the introduction that there’s more of a connection to ‘Asimov’s Universe’ books which he wrote for and incorporated some of the material here.
		Poul Anderson was always a smooth and effortless writer and I doubt if anyone would have any problem reading any of his books.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Broken Sword
		Forty-eight years have passed since Poul Anderson first published The Broken Sword, a work broadly acknowledged as a classic of heroic fantasy.
		The end result can be viewed as an antithesis to Tolkien's, or at least a differentiation between dual traditions, pagan and Christian, whose modern separation here is perhaps an inevitable outcome after years of enforced cohabitation within the canon of fantasy literature.
		From out of this backdrop the author will hurl a maelstrom of mayhem and slaughter that is notable not only for its panoply of faerie wonder, but also for its stark and unremitting grimness of tone.
