Man-Kzin wars is a series of military science fiction short story collections (and is the name of the first collection), as well as the eponymous conflicts between mankind and the Kzinti that they detail (the Kzinti call them the "Wars-With-Men"). They are set in Larry Niven's Known Space universe; however, Niven himself has only written a small number of the stories. All of the cover art for the books in the series is drawn by Stephen Hickman.
