Description
GIVE PEACE A CHANCEA Kzin's instinctively combative responses make for poor diplomatic relations between species. But now that their "first you scream and then you leap" approach to interstellar relations have led to three straight losses to the hairless hominidae of Sol III, there has begun to arise in Kzinti consciousness the faintest glimmering that there may be a Better Way. And in the resulting calm between wars, humans and Kzin are beginning to collaborate.
Now the Universe really has show more something to worry about.

This is a pair of novellas, that, overall, are a very good pair of stories. I had to forgo the 5th star though, as I have a pet peeve against plot errors for the sake of "action". Each story had a noticeable glitch, though nothing major. Unless you read with a mind automatically highly tuned to detail, as I do, you probably won't notice them.
Pournelle is good…now we learn that tnuctipun were smarter than the thrint, but no less evil.

Author Information
Larry Niven received his B.A. in mathematics in 1962. His first novel, World of Ptavvs (1966), was a success and launched his career. Niven has won five Hugos and one Nebula award, testimony that his colleagues in the science fiction world respect his work. Perhaps Niven's most well-known creation is Ringworld, a distant planet that may be taken show more as a metaphor for Earth, as it was once great but has since fallen into decay.
