    <![CDATA[Phssthpok the Pak had been traveling for most of his thirty-two thousand years. His mission: save, develop, and protect the group of Pak breeders sent out into space some two and a half million years before...<br/><br/>Brennan was a Belter, the product of a fiercely independent, somewhat anarchic society living in, on, and around an outer asteroid belt. The Belters were rebels, one and all, and Brennan was a smuggler. The Belt worlds had been tracking the Pak ship for days -- Brennan figured to meet that ship first...<br/><br/>He was never seen again -- at least not by those alive at the time.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[One of the best Niven books, the scale is smaller than any Ringworld book and easier to relate to.  The characters are better developed and not so much of the book is driven by the unexposed thought processess of the protagonist.<br/><br/>Good book, especially if you like the Ringworld universe.]]></body>
