NOTES ON IMPLIED DATES:
* "How the Heroes Die": 2040 according to TOKS timeline, but I see no
evidence in the story. In "The Adults", which takes place in 2125,
murder by martians of the colony is described as happening "over a
century ago".
* "The Jigsaw Man": 2099 according to TOKS timeline, but again, this
specific date does not appear in the story. Lew Knowles is said to have
been arrested for drunk driving in 2082; this story must take place
later, but not many decades later.
* Luke Garner stories:
o Garner was born in 1939 (conversation with Brenner near end of
"The Adults").
o "World of Ptaavs": Garner is "Hundred and seventy next April"
suggesting a date of 2108. TOKS timeline gives 2106; I don't see
this date specifically given in the book.
o "At the Bottom of a Hole": Date of 2112 specifically given. Garner
is "seventeen decades old".
o "Intent to Deceive": Garner is telling a story that took place
"around 2025". Masney says Garner is 174 years old and Garner
doesn't deny it. This suggests a date of 2113.
o "The Adults": Garner is 185, suggesting a date of 2124. Date is
given explicitly as 2125 in "Vandervecken".
* Gil Hamilton stories:
o "Death by Ecstasy": Date of 2123 specifically given. I see no
other data in the story. Hamilton says he became a Belter at 20
and returned to Earth about 6 years later, becoming an ARM soon
after.
