Man-Kzin Wars X: The Wunder War
 It's
Howling Time in Known Space again!
Back to the Frontlines of the
Top Selling Space War in All of
Science Fiction.
The first colonists from Earth named the planet Wunderland. Generations
later, the felinoid invaders called Kzin came and turned it into a hell
for humans. Touched on in other accounts of the Man-Kzin wars, here for
the first time is the decades-long saga of Wunderland: How the
Wunderlanders first learned of the Kzin attacks on Earth by
slower-than-light communications, barely in time to prepare to fight back.
How valiant human defenders turned to guerilla warfare in the Wunderland
jungles and caves after the feline warrior race had destroyed or seized
the cities. And what happened after the Kzin suffered an ignominous
defeat. Many humans wanted revenge and many Kzin still saw humans as just
an annoying food source. Was the war really over. . . ?
"[Larry Niven is ] a writer of supreme talent." Tom Clancy
"[The Man-Kzin Wars series is] excellent . . . gripping . . . expands well
on Larry Niven's universe. . . ."
Locus
"Well, you know the drill by now. Scream and leap to your nearest
bookstore . . . they are going to sell out fast."
Rave Reviews
"Masterful handling of hard SF embedded within a rich background of
character and plot."
