Spotty, not the best but it is more Known Space, so I had to read it...By CustomerThe first story was meant to be funny (or clever) and the joke lasted WAY too long. It would have been a clever 5 page story, but it went on forever.The best story was Tomcat Tactics, in which the situation mirrors situations in real life which makes you think outside your own box. This has been a cornerstone of the Known Space series which deals with psychology, science, how circumstances affect thinking and cultural norms, etc. The other stories do that well, but some of them tend to drag. Zeno's Roulette is interesting until the end, where the final solution shows that there would have been so many other ways to accomplish the task. If you have nanobot level technology, why do you need a human delivery system?I love the known space series and this was an overall fulfilling book that carries the stories further and fills in details and nuances of an already amazingly detailed universe. Known Space is awesome, I have every book in it and I would love to get a 2nd copy of each book so I could put the stories in chron order so I'd have an excuse to reread them all again! Larry Niven is the only author who could write a book about their own work like N-Space and have me read it.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. They're still leaping and screaming all over the map!By Joy V. SmithI liked all the stories, but Bound for the Promised Land, Tomcat Tactics, Pick of the Litter, and Misunderstanding (the quirkiest) were my favorites. This anthology is highly recommended. (It's rare when all the stories in an anthology are this good.)Misunderstanding by Hal Colebatch Jessica Q Fox is a fun story where the Kzin are befuddled by some strangely different aliens.Two Types of Teeth by Jane Lindskold: I enjoy stories where Kzin and human work together to confound other Kzin or humans.Pick of the Litter by Charles E. Gannon: Humans attempt to capture and raise and socialize Kzin kits... This premise caught my attention right away. Well executed.Tomcat Tactics by Charles E. Gannon: A Wunderland (the planet) story. Humans fight back against Kzin occupying their planet. Another good premise, and I was happy to see another Wunderland story.At the Gates by Alex Hernandez: Humans and Kzin inhabit a lost colony of Earth when a damaged Kzin ship appears above the planet. Suspenseful with a good payoff. (Hmm. I could have added this to my favorites, but I didn't want to include them all!)Zeno's Roulette by David Bartell: A story involving the Puppeteers and a secret they use humans to retrieve. The Puppeteers aren't my favorite characters, but it was interesting to see them included in another anthology--and it was a puzzling mystery.Bound for the Promised Land by Alex Hernandez: Bobcat, a tailess Kzin telepath, comes across an opportunity to escape his ship with a telepathic ARM agent hot on his trail. (Btw, I'd heard earlier that Alex Herandez was a good, upcoming addition to the anthology authors. Welcome aboard, and thanks for two great stories!)2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Boy, did I ever need another Man-Kzin hit!By Kindle CustomerI should probably research the Larry Niven co-author thing. By and large, they do ok, but can be long in the tooth in terms of the background or, conversely, expect me to remember what happened in #8. Which war are we in? Still Kzin leap before they look or Kzin as reprobates on earth-type planets? I guess I should have kept all of them instead of donating them to the public library?Anyway, this one was enjoyable and brought some entertaining new species into the equation.In revisiting this one in my order history, I find that #14 is available. Keen! Onward and upward! The perennially best-selling series set in Larry Niven’s Man-Kzin universe continues with entry #13 including hard- hitting and thought-inducing tales from a host of talented contributors. The cat-like alien Kzin, formerly invincible conquerors of all they encountered, must learn to compromise with humans if they wish to survive and prosper once again as a species.Larry Niven’s bestselling Man-Kzin series continues! The kzin, formerly invincible conquerors of all they encountered, had a hard time dealing with their ignominious defeat by the leaf-eating humans. Some secretly hatched schemes for a rematch, others concentrated on gathering power within the kzin hierarchy, and some shamefully cooperated with the contemptible humans, though often for hidden motives. In war and in uneasy peace, kzin and humans continue their adventures with a masterful addition to the Man-Kzin Wars shared universe created by multiple New York Times best-seller, incomparable tale-spinner, and Nebula- and five-time Hugo-Award-winner, Larry Niven. About the Man-Kzin War Series:“[The Man-Kzin Wars series is] excellent . .gripping . .and expands well on Larry Niven’s universe. .” –Locus About series creator Larry Niven: “Niven’s masterly use of SF strategies hits every note. “–Los Angeles Time About the AuthorLarry Niven is the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers, both alone (The Integral Trees, 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 highly successful Man-Kzin Wars books derive, is a landmark of modern science fiction, rating favorable comparison to Heinlein’s Future History series and Asimov’s Foundation series. Winner of a Nebula award and five Hugo awards, SF legend Niven remains among the foremost writers of the new century.
