Thanks wendy1946.
The principle players in that later group are Gunnar Heinsohn, Emmet Sweeney, and Charles Ginenthal. The conclusion they have come to is that Velikovsky erred on the side of sticking with bible chronologies and did not reduce the accepted chronologies as much as is indicated.
Also in that group is Jesse Laskin.

The Glasgow Chronology was a postmortem attempt to hammer out an alternative to V's AiC, and spawned Peter James et al ("Centuries of Darkness") and David Rohl ("Pharaohs and Kings" and other titles).

Vern Crisler runs a chronology group, which I think has moved off Yahoo, perhaps onto one of the blogger websites; and Cami McGraw runs the David Rohl group on Yahoo, which includes participants like John Bimson. Seems like I'm forgetting one...

Ted Stewart tries to come up with a chronology to put Joseph in Egypt while keeping the conventional pseudochronology, and explicitly rejects V's revisions, and comes up short.

The late Robert W. Compton (died as a result of an accident in pursuit of his high-powered rocketry avocation) self-published a very nice synopsis of V's chronology, came with a sort of timeline poster I've been meaning to tranfer to an HTML table.

Lisa Liel actually worked for V's estate, and probably still has some webpages about reconciling the "Hittite" and Assyrian chronologies (which have minor problems), and her ex-husband has some of the same work online, or did at one time.

The late Roger Henry has done IMHO the best job analyzing V's AiC series, it's probably still available (I certainly hope so).

The sci-fi writer and engineer James P. Hogan (UK) used to have a bunch of essays about the Venus stuff on his website (they weren't back up when last I checked, probably almost two years ago), but his book "Kicking the Sacred Cow" has a whole section on that material, and much else besides unrelated to V (Thomas Gold, Darwin, loads of stuff).

The late Donovan Courville (very late, he's been dead 25 or 30 years I think) had "The Exodus Problem and its Ramifications", difficult to find, two volumes, basically self-published, in which he discusses V in a concise way in one of the appendices and a footnote or two. Courville put the Exodus way back in the 1st IP, then telescopes the Egyptian dynasties.

Michael Sanders (I don't remember where I found this out, or even in the memory is accurate) has Courville's materials, which IMHO should be republished in a new edition. Anyway, Sanders has produced a TV special in which he chases down what he says is the site of Shishak's fortress -- then he wasn't allowed to excavate by the so-called Palestinians, because he isn't affiliated with any university, and he got very angry about it on the tape. :')

Martin Sieff came out of the Glasgow Chronology as well, and his stuff I think used to appear on Lisa Liel's website. Don't remember now. I'm going to stop, there are a couple of dozen more folders with names on them in the V folder, and I'd have to look at each one to see why. :')

Wow, you’re seriously into V’s work! Who knew??? From what little I’ve learned of the man, he seems to have been a free spirit that let his well documented research into the earliest accounts of Man’s encounters with the elements lead him where they may. Good on him! I gather his defenders never wavered and in fact their ranks have even blossomed over the years. Somewhere V’s spirit is smiling.
