Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Destroyer of Worlds by Larry Niven and Edward M. Lerner



This book follows Fleet of Worlds but there may be books in between.   Sigmund Ausfaller appears again in this book.  He was a Puppeteer paranoid in earlier books.  He is yanked out of known space by Nessus as a buffer or "wild" human to protect the now separate colonists. The PAK are reintroduced to the story line and the focus of the story is the avoidance of the PAK.

This is a very similar cast to the Fleet of Worlds with the exception of the PAK and Sigmund who have populated previous Niven books.   The Gw'oth are a newly found, rapidly evolving species who play a large part in the changes that occur in this book. 

If recollection serves me, Sigmund was an implacable foe of the Puppeteers in earlier books but he is now tempered by a wife and children.   Lots of  action, scary foes and interesting technology.

I recommend the book.

 This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
