Larry Niven's tale sets the tone for these stories that describe some of the action immediately after first Man-Kzin contact. Hal Colebatch is a consistently wonderful story-teller. Jean Lamb does a good job of relating a tertiary tale but is a bit weak in the emotional tone. Then Paul Chafe shows us why the Jotok were ultimately enslaved by the Kzin. And finally, the pièce de résistance of Warren James: THIS is the type of story that keeps me reading the Man-Kzin saga. The first 50 pages or so describe the carnage created by the Kzin on a human slow-boat ram jet (just imagine how the Kzin would react to a cargo of hibernating humans--a locker of frozen meat to replace the normal ship diet?) And in the next 30 or so pages the human(!) gets mad (and if you've read all of the books leading up to this one you'll gleefully anticipate the results of the pills that the doctor has been feeding our hero) and creates carnage that only a human can create. It so energized me that I couldn't help but read the ending over again. If only Jean Lamb had read this story before writing hers I would hope that the too-calm tone of her tale would have sharpened a bit. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
