Destiny's Road (Niven)

Destiny's Road, Larry Niven


Excellent worldbuiling. Hard SF. Quick read.


Enjoyed it, very much. A world-building travelogue with a story wrapped around it so that you don't realize that you have a world-building travelogue. (That's the way to do it.)



This was made quicker by the fact that it was a summer reading book, so I had more time. Someone afterward told me that he borrowed heavily from his "Known Space" books, but I haven't read those, so if he did, it didn't bother me.

It had a good story, and he was able to give a tour of the world he built along the way that made sense in the story.
