SynopsisOn an L.A. talk show Arthur C. Clarke was once asked to name his favorite writer. His answer was "Larry Niven." Countless others agree. The Baltimore Sun and Kirkus Reviews have both dubbed Niven "the premier writer of hard SF," and Gregory Benford has hailed him as "the paradigm of SF personality of the last several decade." Now Larry Niven presents us with his undisputed masterwork. N-Space contains, very simply, the best SF of his career--marvelous fiction, a wealth of anecdotes and gossip, plus Niven's own special brand of wit and excitement., Here is a retrospective collecton from all phases of Niven's writing career. Rich with gossip, storytelling vigor, and sheer science-fictional play, N-Space is a book for science fiction lovers on the order of Robert A. Heinlein's Expanded Universe.
