Critics Review
“Urbane, assured, and at ease, narrator Bronson Pinchot sounds like he’s sitting on a white leather couch reading this collection of smart short stories and essays in a postmodern penthouse overlooking—well, the universe. With its finely honed eye and ear for scientific realism and thoughtful detail, this collection of ahead-of-their-time gems covers some of Larry Niven’s favorite topics…At eighty years old, Niven remains one of the true grand masters of science fiction, and with Pinchot’s nuanced reading we also find that there’s a very human side to all that hard science, as well. A fine and fun listening experience. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
“Niven…lifts readers far from the conventional world—and does it with dash.”
“Niven is a galaxy-class storyteller.”
