It seemed like a good idea at the time.... When the catlike Kzin discovered the human region of the galaxy, they thought it was time to scream and leap again. Bred to be conquering warriors, they thought the salad-munching apes of Earth wouldn't even put up a good fight. Actually, they should have been polite to the monkey boys and girls from planet Earth. Humans had developed a pacifist society because they had been good -- too good -- at war and knew more than one way to skin a Kzin. The Warrior Race has encountered its most formidable opponent -- and Larry Niven's Known Space is aflame with war.Still, the bestselling Kzin can take comfort from the thought that what they lose in battle, they win back in the bookstores -- which is no surprise, since the Man-Kzin Wars series features the best writers in the field working in science fiction's most popular shared universe.
