First detailed in ''[[Theatre of War (novel)|Theatre of War]]'', the initial date of publishing was given as 2466. This was at odds with [[Paul Cornell]]'s established backstory for [[Bernice Summerfield]], placing her date of birth as 21st June 2472 (and thereby dating ''[[Love and War]]'', her first appearance, 21st - 23rd June 2502). However, as the document detailing Benny's early life - included in Cornell's initial pitch to [[Peter Darvill-Evans]] - was not immediately accessible to other writers, many subsequent novels muddied the water concerning her native time period until the matter was cleared up in ''[[Just War (novel)|Just War]]'', placing Benny's date of birth as 21st June 2540 (in order to better fit ''Love and War'' into the time period of the Human-Draconian conflict as explored in ''[[Frontier in Space]]''). | |||
Despite this obvious contradiction, the publishing date of 2466 has been quoted many times in the ''[[Bernice Summerfield (series)|Bernice Summerfield]]'' series, most notably in the ''Welcome to the Braxiatel Collection'' section at the beginning of novels and anthologies, and remains unexplained to this day.[[Category:Non-fiction books]] | |||
