5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put this thing down!, Nov 21 2009

By	Mike "G" (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Destroyer of Worlds (Hardcover)

Don't believe the snobs on this book. It definitely is Larry Niven, it's just not Larry Niven written 30 to 40 years ago. Also it clearly has a co-author, thus clearly it isn't just Larry Niven writing. Now on to an actual review...

The book is a page turner that is for sure. Part of the reason for that is it's the final book in a trilogy. Larry Niven's Known Space series spans well over a dozen novels, but this one is part of a Known Space trilogy. For a new comer to the Known space series this is probably not the best place to start. Like any novel should be in a series it can stand on its own, but while most things are explained a lot of the back story is left for you to keep guessing. However, if you've ever read the Known Space series then you should be able to pick this one up without a problem. And if you've read the preceding two books in the trilogy you'll HAVE to read this one. Probably the most interesting and gripping yet.

The book involves Humans, Puppeteers, and the Gw'oth mostly. But it also incorporates the Pak. (See Fleet of Worlds) I don't want to reveal too much about the Pak as new readers will not know any of the back story (but fear not it is explained in good detail). To the old readers this book stitches up many holes and gaps in Protector and the Ringworld Quadruplet.

I really can't give much of a synopses because the book is so packed that even revealing that the Pak are in it is kind of a spoiler. It has it's predictable moments, but when you think your prediction will play out over 50 pages, it actually plays out in a chapter. So it does keep you guessing.

Also I'd like to add that Edward M. Lerner being a co-author is a good thing. Niven is no stranger to co-writing books and it's fairly seamless. You can tell when Mr. Lerner is contributing, because he's added a more modern technological flare to the story. Contact lenses that project images onto your retinas (like a HUD). AI pocket computers (picture your Palm/Blackberry as a post singularity being.) And other gadgets that are not unthinkable anymore. Niven always tended to leave the technological details very open ended unless it was like a BIG tech such as transfer booths or star ship propulsion. This may end up dating the books in the future in a way that Niven's other books never have been, but for the time being it's a nice touch.

Overall a great read especially for long time fans. And if you ever read the Man-Kzin war books you'll definitely have no problem with Niven not writing solo. Although I still suggest you read "Fleet of Worlds" and "Juggler of Worlds" first.

3.0 out of 5 stars It may have Larry Niven's name on it but...., Nov 15 2009

By	David P. Montgomery (Cambridge, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Destroyer of Worlds (Hardcover)

It isn't Larry Niven. If you have never read Larry Niven's original works you might enjoy this because you won't have any preconceptions on what to expect. Old fans of Larry Niven can expect to be disappointed when they read this.
