Review


Niven is a galaxy-class storyteller.-- "Time, praise for the author"


Niven...lifts readers far from the conventional world-and does it with dash.-- "Los Angeles Times, praise for the author"


Urbane, assured, and at ease, narrator Bronson Pinchot sounds like he's sitting on a white leather couch reading this collection of smart short stories and essays in a postmodern penthouse overlooking-well, the universe. With its finely honed eye and ear for scientific realism and thoughtful detail, this collection of ahead-of-their-time gems covers some of Larry Niven's favorite topics...At eighty years old, Niven remains one of the true grand masters of science fiction, and with Pinchot's nuanced reading we also find that there's a very human side to all that hard science, as well. A fine and fun listening experience. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.-- "AudioFile"


About the Author


Larry Niven is the multiple Hugo, Locus, and Nebula Award-winning author of science fiction short stories and novels, including the Ringworld series, as well as many other science fiction masterpieces. His Footfall, coauthored with Jerry Pournelle, was a New York Times bestseller.


Bronson Pinchot, an Audie Award-winning narrator and Audible's Narrator of the Year for 2010, received his education at Yale University, which filled out what he had already received at his mother's knee in the all-important areas of Shakespeare, Greek art and architecture, and the Italian Renaissance. He restores Greek Revival buildings and appears in television, film, and on stage whenever the pilasters and entablatures overwhelm him.
