S.M. Stirling story collection

Apparently Steve Stirling's got a story collection out that includes some AH work. One piece was just an exerpt from the Nantucket series, which felt like kind of a cheat -- I'd been hoping for something new from that world.

There was also a sequel to L. Sprague de Camp's classic Lest Darkness Fall though, a short story set roughly 50 years after the original novel. I thought that was kind of interesting, though there were a number of things about it that didn't quite work. I suppose you could call it fanfic by a professional. Not the first time we've seen something like that though -- Turtledove's "The Pugnacious Peacemaker" was a sequel to de Camp's The Wheels of If, after all.

Foundation's Friends is professionally-written fanfic. I don't remember whether Stirling contributed. I know Turtledove did.

Any chance there's a Lords of Creation story in there? Some sort of post script to the final chapter of ItCotCK? It would be kind of asinine of him to open up even bigger questions than the one the main body of the series dealt with and then immediately end the story for good.
When you wipe your ass, make sure you wipe it really well.
