The price Perry pays for his immortality emotionally impacts me far more
than any other fictional character.

Blood of Cardif... blood of Thora... blood of Rhodan.
- 116 "Duel Under the Double Sun"

We stood before the gutted wreck of the false Sotala. In the
decisive action, 82 Terrans had lost their lives. And the 4
Akon scientists were dead. And... And-! My eyes avoided Perry,
nor could I trust myself to speak to him.
- 125 "Savior of the Empire"

You can achieve the best emotional impact when you read the first 125
novellas in order to familiarize yourself with the characters.

Thank God Darlton's around to provide comic relief when it's most needed.

Danke,

I haven't read any of those, but I did read The Boat of A Million Years by Poul Anderson who had another book on that list.
