text Inexplicable Anomalies: "The Ringworld Throne" by Larry Niven
(Original Review, 1980-07-01)Now we're going to argue the reasons for sequels? It's straightforward here. Niven obviously doesn't need the money (although it can't hurt too badly). It's those damned readers who keep begging for more and pawing after him at every convention, in every fanzine, in all ...

text Hyperspace Shunt: "Protector" by Larry Niven
(Original Review, 1980-07-29)Some apparent anomalies in Niven's "Protector".I am reasonably comfortable with Larry Niven's "Known Space" universe, however I have just finished rereading "Protector" for the umpteenth time and I am somewhat disturbed by the apparent incompatibility with other "Known S...

text R(t) = sqrt(r**2+dr**2-2*r*dr*cos(t)): "Ringworld" by Larry Niven

Let the parent sun have mass M. Put the center of the Ringworld at the origin, with the axis of rotation along the z-axis. Now,...

text Hold a Universe Together: "Flatlander" by Larry Niven
(Original Review, 1980-09-04)Niven has linked many of the Known Space stories with genealogy.In "World of Ptavvs" and some other stories focused on the Belt, we meet Martin Schaeffer, nicknamed "Little" or "Lit" because he is around seven feet tall. He has some marital problems: his wife doesn't get...

text Known Space: "A Gift from Earth" by Larry Niven
(Original Review, 1980-09-08)Oof! a very palpable hit! --- although I would offer that the fault is more in the condensation of several months' lengthy discussions of nearly four years ago than of a sexist bias. I think I misquoted one of the arguments proffered by someone who was at the time raisin...
