Flandry's Legacy (Technic Civilization)

Two full length novels and four novellas collected for the first time in volume seven of Poul Anderson’s Technic Civilization science fiction adventure epic. 

Sir Dominic Flandry is now an admiral, but takes little joy in his new rank. He sees the rot in the Terran Empire on every hand and knows that the Long Night will inevitably fall upon the galaxy. His consolation is that measures he has taken while doing what he can to postpone the Empire’s final collapse may shorten the coming galactic dark age and hasten the rise of a new interstellar civilization. In the meantime, he’ll enjoy the comforts of a decadent civilization—and he’ll always be ready for one more battle against the Empire’s enemies.
     This concluding volume of the Technic Civilization saga, one of the milestones of modern science fiction includes two full-length novels, plus four novellas set in the time of the Long Night and the renaissance of civilization which followed it, concluding one of the grandest adventure sagas in science fiction.
