Interesting idea, to examine the literature that inspired Traveller and vice versa. I look forward to more instalments.

I read three or four Dumarest books when I was a mere lad, but as with the Lensman series, while I enjoyed them, they never made any sort of lasting impression on me. But I was a rabid Arthur C. Clarke fan then. I wonder how I would feel about the series now, decades later, with my tastes having changed.

I have one question though: How have Tubb's sci-tech extrapolations, if any, stood the test of time?
