I have no doubt that first time readers of my series, Tales of the United Nations Off-World Legion, must puzzle at the thought of sternwheelers plying the Seleucus Lacus on Samsara. Of course they might, for the stories take place eighty-seven years in the future, over one hundred and fifty years after these vessels of fashionable yet practical conveyance fell out of use. So I have no doubt the reader must look slantendicular at the book, offer a chuckle at the thought of parts of a steamship being transferred through hyperspace jumpgates to a colony twenty light years away. But I digress.
