5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 9 April 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Man Kzin Wars (Mass Market Paperback)
Reading this book, you have to wonder a) how the Kzin have managed to get into space into the first place and b)how humanity has survived that long into the future (hell, i'm surprised how humanity has managed to survive to the present, let along the future).An exellent book and for once no signof physics on the horizon.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent book for killing a few hours, 8 Dec 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: The Man Kzin Wars (Mass Market Paperback)

This is not the world's most serious or enlightening science-fiction, but it IS fun.

All three stories in this book are fun romps through the future and are well worth the time it takes to read them. All are epics of the struggle of man over nature and ferocious space-faring aliens.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like I say about most Niven stuff: Utterly cool., 24 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Man Kzin Wars (Mass Market Paperback)
In the future, an antidepressant-pacified and docile humanity, (sound familiar? Look around), goes into massive culture shock when the first aliens they meet don't even attempt contact, but only try to kill them from the getgo. Once again, utterly cool, and I agree with the message I think that is embedded in these stories: Don't get TOO comfortable in peacetime, and DON'T start believing that you're safe, or it'll come back around again and get you!!! WWI, the war to end all wars!!!!???? WWII anybody? It'll happen again and again, as Niven nimbly demonstrates. Plus the Kzinti themselves are vastly interesting creatures, because you have to wonder how a society based solely on violence and dominance rituals remains stable enough to conquer space, and then keep it. Read it.
