Synopsis: In the introduction, Jerry Pournelle writes "Niven wrote hard science when it wasn't fashionable." And he wrote it as well is it can be written. Spanning his career and crossing the universe. You get a good sampling of his work. There are a couple of Man-Kzin stories, several from his Known Space universe, one from the surface of Venus and two from before and after the Fall of Atlantis. The stories are all entertaining and some will haunt you. If you hear the term Flashmob on the news you will find out where it came from in this book. When you visit Draco's Tavern you will come to a bar that makes the famous bar seen in Starwars seem like a boring meeting of the local Rotary Club. And wait until you meet The Jigsaw Man or the Swordsman in Just Before the End.
