from the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning master of hard
science fiction!Larry Niven is the New York Times
bestselling author of such classic science fiction
novels as Ringworld and Destiny's Road. His previous
collection, N-Space, was lauded by the Houston Post
as "outstanding . . . hours of entertainment," while
Publishers Weekly called it "a must for science
fiction fans." A follow-up volume, Playgrounds of the
Mind, was similarly praised by Kirkus Reviews:
"An abundance of Niven's curious yet disciplined
inventiveness and his fun-filled knack for turning seemingly
absurd notions into credible, absorbing fiction. Grand
entertainment."
