Not really.  In fact, the reference it makes to the origins of that
planet (Ganymede?) seemed to me to be a bit of a sop to the
publishers.  "See if you can tie in the other stuff.  It'll help the
book sell."

"Escape Velocity" stands very well on its own, without leaning too
heavily on the Warlock stuff.  It DOES record the adventures of the
Warlock's ancestors (a couple of greats-grandfather).  And, of
course, ... But that might spoil it... Find this book and read it if
you enjoyed other Stasheff stuff.  It's worth it.
