Re: [Book/Fiction]: Space Viking, reviewed by ShannonA (4/3)

Isn't the Anderson series Miller gained inspiration from the Technic books which are composed of the Polesotechnic League stories (Nicholas van Rijn) and the Terran Empire stories (the Dominic Flandry stories mentioned) as opposed to the Psychotechnic League, which were built from early stories (50s as opposed to 60s-70s) with very different themes?

That said, adventuring in the Psychotechnic League could be very interesting. It's political underpinnings are quite different from most of the list that influenced Traveller (and most of modern sci-fi roleplaying).
