[.ca] BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WARS (ISBN 0671878794)

Great Collection:
This book has a great collection of short stories. THere are some that deffinately outshine outhers. It gives you a nice taste of the Man-Kizin Wars series.

An excellent Kzinti intro and feeder for further research:
My main concern on getting this book via mail was that the main stories were not written by Niven. I almost sent it back as I imagined that no one could possibly produce stories by proxy. The fist two are by Niven and are a couple of short illustrative tales that explain about the Kzin and the events that led to the war. The last two make up the body of the book and are by the guest authors. If you have not read Niven before start with N-Space (a collection of short stories that will get you addicted), however the guest authors really add value and produce an excellent read. I would recommend this book but you have to know the species and background of the Niven universe to get the most out of it. I would "buy it again".
