Larry Niven’s Man-Kzin Wars - IX

About this book

The Kzin are warcats supreme, conquerors who have carved satrapies across the stars and see every other species as prey. Then they met humans: scrawny, clever, tree-descended apes who turned communications lasers and space drives into weapons and left the Heroes of the Patriarchy bloodied and humbled. The First Man-Kzin War is history, but no one believes the story is over. Larry Niven's Man-Kzin Wars IX gathers new tales set in the Known Space universe, created by Niven and developed by some of science fiction's most respected storytellers. Opening with Poul Anderson's "Pele," the volume goes inside a kzin noble house, where a disgraced naval captain pleads before a Grand Lord for the chance to redeem his family's honor and win a place in the next war. Meanwhile, humans are preparing a scientific expedition to a young sun and its doomed planet, and the Kzin are eager to learn what the monkeys hope to find. With contributions from Poul Anderson, Hal Colebatch and Paul Chafe, this Baen Books anthology delivers military science fiction, alien politics, cunning strategy and the clash of two very different species. Perfect for fans of Known Space, space opera and hard SF adventure. Start reading online instantly in your browser, with no download required.
