The Best of Larry Niven

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.

Though her boss was the star of the company, it's Eliza that actually makes decisions for the department. And the murderer must have realized his mistake, because Eliza's suddenly a target.Toss in a tragic family history, an absent mother in Botswana, and a sister working for the Department of Homeland Security and stealing the family spotlight ... and Eliza can barely hold her life together at a level of normalcy. She's certainly not equipped to be solving murders. As she argues, "I'm not a detective. I'm a mystery editor. I don't know whodunit until I read the last pages of a manuscript."But when the editor of the local newspaper's Book Section becomes more than just a professional acquaintance, their growing passion urges Eliza to overcome her past and her passivity to find the author-turned-murderer before she is pegged with the crime or, worse yet, before she -- or someone she loves -- becomes the next victim.

The Best of Mary Diana Dods: An Author Ahead of Their Time

Delve into the works and mystery of an LGBTQ+ author whom historians are still trying to unravel over 200 years later. Previously known only as a quiet but intelligent wallflower friend of renowned author Mary Shelley, Mary Diana Dods is far from an ordinary 1700s daughter of an Earl. Throughout their life, they lived under three identities. First was their birth name, Mary Diana Dods. Due to the negative opinions of women authors during this time, they adopted the pseudonym, David Lyndsay, which was the pen name under which they published the majority of their work. Most intriguing of all, they fully transitioned to an additional male identity of scholar and diplomat, Walter Sholto Douglas, for the latter part of their personal life. Until Mary Shelley expert Betty T. Bennett&’s research in 1991, it was believed that Dods, Lyndsay, and Sholto Douglas were all separate individuals. By studying a series of letters sent to Shelley, Bennett discovered that all correspondents were in fact the same person. Since this research, historians have been working tirelessly to uncover the truth behind the life of this groundbreaking author whom society has forgotten.

One of the most moving sections is her 12-part series with US District Judge Joan Lefkow as the latter reflected on rebuilding her life after the horrific murders of her mother and husband.Throughout the book, Schmich reflects wisely and wryly on the world we live in, and her fond observances of Chicago life bring the city in all its varied character to warm, vivid life.
