About this title

Review:

"[Larry Niven is] a writer of supreme talent." "Niven's masterly use of SF strategies hits every note . . . and does it with dash." "[The Man-Kzin Wars series is] excellent . . . gripping . . . expands well on Larry Niven's universe. . . ." "Well, you know the drill by now, Scream and leap to your nearest bookstore . . . they are going to sell out fast." "Masterful handling of hard SF embedded within a rich background of character and plot."

About the Author:

Larry Niven has authored many New York Times bestsellers, both alone (The Integral Trees, The Smoke Ring, The Ringworld Throne) and in collaboration with Jerry Pournelle (The Mote in God's Eye, Lucifer's Hammer, Footfall). His Known Space series, from which the fabulously successful Man-Kzin Wars books derive, is a landmark of modern science fiction, as popular as Heinlein's Future History series and Asimov's Foundation series. When Arthur C. Clarke appeared on a talk show and was asked to name his favorite science fiction writer, he immediately answered "Larry Niven." Winner of a Nebula award and five Hugo awards, Niven is among the foremost SF writers of the new century. His latest novels are Rainbow Mars (Tor) and The Burning City, with Jerry Pournelle (Pocket). Hal Colebatch has had stories in previous volumes of the Man-Kzin Wars series. His recent book, Blair's Britain, was selected by the London Spectator's Taki as a book of the year. He has also written mainstream fiction, biographies, plays, poetry, and several hundred articles. He has a Ph.D. in Political Science, and has been an advisor to two Australian Federal Ministers. He practices law in a suburb of Perth, Australia, where he lives with his wife and two stepchildren.
