The alien Kzinti had almost conquered the humans, but after the initial surprise, the humans fought back with a ferocity the Kzinti had never faced. But that was centuries ago, and the humiliation of lost battles has not faded. The Kzinti are back . . . and spoiling for a fight! Includes stories by Larry Niven, Dean Ing, Jerry Pournelle and S.M.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Cool.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Man-Kzin Wars II (Mass Market Paperback)
In the second installment of the Man-Kzin Wars, one of the most interesting Kzinti characters is introduced: Chuut Riit. I love it when they get into the personalities of these aliens, cause it's just plain absurd, and you want to read more. Like, at one point, you're introduced, albeit briefly to a Kzinti computer nerd. A KZINTI computer nerd!!! This is just cool. I'm sorry, but in dealing with Man-Kzin Wars books it all comes down to that. Can't say more than that. Cool.

This review is from: Man-Kzin Wars II (Mass Market Paperback)
'Briar Patch' is a sequel to 'Cathouse' from the previous book. Lockleal goes to the Earth compound next door to the Kzin Compound on the planet, Zoo and releases a group of Neanderthal humans from stasis. He lives among them, studies them and comes up with amazing and heretofore unknown insights about Neanderthals that although the story is fictional, seem true. The story provides fascinating theories about Neanderthals and their relationship to the Cro-Magnons...

A good continuation of this series,
By A Customer
This review is from: Man-Kzin Wars II (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a good followup to this series, an enjoyable afternoon which each of the novellas. Some of the storylines do continue through multiple books, making it worthwhile to read them all in order. We get a bit more fleshing out of Known Space and the kzin in general, and although different authors contribute, the whole thing is generally cohesive. Nothing in here will be a permanent classic (like Ringworld), but they aren't supposed to be. Other sci-fi writers are just taking a light foray into Niven's universe. Bring the series to the beach.
