THOSE KZIN DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'RE LICKED (AND MAYBE THEY AREN'T...)

It was so unfair! Here the Kzin were, warcats supreme, carving out empires like the idefatigable lords of creation that they were - and then they ran into those pesky humans. Mere apes! Contemptible weed-eaters! Hardly worth...

This is a book of short stories in the universe started by Ranks of Bronze. The first story is the short story that eventually became that book. The short story is much better than the book. While it also lacks a lot of explanation, because of its very status as a short story, it can get away with that. The second...

AuthorPaul Chafe

The length was intimidating, just under a thousand pages but worth it. Chafe has the military training and enough science smarts to pull it all together (I'm sure Larry was involved in a few pre-reads). There are elements of the Greek tragedies such as Jason and the Argonauts, Orpheus and Eurydice in...

Planets of Adventure is an anthology of short stories. It contains one almost full-length story and several shorter stories, all of which are based on the theme implied by the title. The quality of the stories was pretty consistent – they weren’t terribly engaging, but they did hold my interest...

This is a compilation of two earlier books, Judgement on Janus and Victory on Janus. A dedication on the back cover (?by the editors? David Weber and Eric Flint, anyway) reads:

"To Andre Norton--Andre, you proved long ago that being a giant has nothing to do with physical stature. You've been...
