==Modern reprints== As with other 20th century science fiction writers, Anvil's work became available through [[Print on demand|print-on-demand]] and [[Ebook|ebooks]]. One of Anvil's best-known short stories is "Pandora's Planet", which appeared first in ''Astounding'' in September 1956.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ASTOUNDING Science Fiction: September, Sept. 1956 ("Pandora's Planet") by Astounding (Christopher Anvil; Murray Leinster; Poul Anderson; Hal Clement; Robert Silverberg; Isaac Asimov): (1956) Magazine / Periodical {{!}} Books from the Crypt |url=https://www.abebooks.com/magazines-periodicals/ASTOUNDING-Science-Fiction-September-Sept-1956/30452927298/bd |access-date=2023-04-03 |website=www.abebooks.com |language=en}}</ref> It has since been reprinted several times, and also combined with the other stories in his Pandora series into a full length "fixed-up" novel, ''Pandora's Legions''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brown |first=Alan |date=2021-04-29 |title=Those Pesky Earthlings: Pandora’s Legions by Christopher Anvil |url=https://www.tor.com/2021/04/29/those-pesky-earthlings-pandoras-legions-by-christopher-anvil/ |access-date=2023-04-03 |website=Tor.com |language=en-US}}</ref> Anvil also published a number of stories which he and John Campbell referred to as the ''Colonization Series'': {{blockquote|text=The Colonization series can accurately be characterized, I think, as Christopher Anvil's magnum opus. Taken together, counting number of titles, the stories constitute almost one third of Anvil's science fiction output, totaling something like four hundred thousand words of writing.<ref Name="BaenAftEdit">[[Eric Flint]], afterward to Christopher Anvil's ''[https://archive.org/details/interstellarpatr00anvi Interstellar Patrol]'' collection (2003)</ref>}}
