Title: The Houses of the Kzinti by Jerry Pournelle, Dean Ing ISBN: 0-7434-3577-X Publisher: Baen Books Pub. Date: 01 December, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: A Agree with the previous Reviewer
Comment: This is an exciting and imaginative story - the inventiveness and sense of wonder which good SF should have, with touches of irony and humor. Exciting and realistic battles. The Kzinti are not all bad - paving the way, perhaps, for the human-kzin interfaces of Man-Kzin IX and X. The idea of the "Zoo" planet is full of possibilities. But the thing on the cover is not a Kzintosh! The artist should be drafted as a wiper on a Kzin battle-cruiser with a zzrou in his back until he learns better. The female Kzinrett is OK, I guess. Nice legs, anyway.
Rating: 4
Summary: Great... except for the cover
Comment: This book contains two novels originally published (in two parts each) in the "Man-Kzin Wars" series, which by now has run into 9 books. I consider these two among the best of the series' offerings, describing psychology and family life of kzinti in great detail. The reason I am giving this book 4 stars instead of 5 is the cover. It is obvious that the artist never read the book - the two aliens are not kzinti, they are oversized humans in tiger masks! Kzinti anatomy and proportions are quite different from those of humans, and sufficiently described in the book.
