: The Grand Master has had fun in hiding names of his contemporaries, colleagues and other personages -- including his own --- in The Demon Princes and other works. Here are two, shall we see how many we can find?

: Ch.3, The Killing Machine:
: A.N. der Poulson: "...the dean of modern cosmologists..."
: Ch.5, The Star King:
: Frerb Hankbert: author of "Journal of the Anthropicene"

: I expect this exercise should be great fun for all and sundry.

Tangental and fleeting, I know, but in the sprit of the exercise, I have a vivid recollection of encountering the name 'Pander Oulson' in a 1960's era work. If not a Vancism, might it have been in Frerb Hankbert's novel 'Dune?'
