3.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable continuation of the series., June 7, 2001

This review is from: Man Kzin Wars III (Paperback)

This volume, as did each of the previous two, contains three mid-length stories set in Larry Niven's science fiction alternate-future in which the human race finds itself frequently at war with the Kzin, a race evolved from carnivorous hunting cats instead of from omnivorous monkeys. As in the first volume, the first story is by Niven himself, and is followed by two by other writers writing in his established universe. Each of the stories in this book can be considered a continuation of a story from a previous volume; Niven's follows up his introductory story of the first encounter between humans and Kzinti; the second is a collaboration by Jerry Pournelle and S. M. Stirling, which follows from the story they wrote in an earlier volume, and the third continues from Poul Anderson's previous effort. The only complaint I have is that there was no continuation of the storyline by Dean Ing, which was always my favorite, but I suppose that when there are only three stories per volume, there is not enough room for every author to appear in every book. (In Pournell and Stirling's story, there is even a hint of an answer to a previous question of mine: how DID a race such as the Kzin develop advanced technology in the first place?)

I said it about all the other Man-Kzin Wars books, and this hasn't changed my mind. Cool. The stories, although from various authors are always really fun, and the Kzinti are nonstop interesting characters.
