Larry Niven's Known Space

[Corwwyn]

"The Mote In God's Eye", "Footfall" and "Lucifer's Hammer" are great!!!!!

Damn straight!

Also, Dream Park (with Steven Barnes) was pretty good, and my two favourite Niven books (A World Out of Time, and The Integral Trees) are both from around time of his "falling in with Jerry Pournelle" or later.

The third book should be titled Ringworld Thrown because that's what I would've done if it weren't a copy from the library.

Nice pun.

I reread Throne when Children came out. Kinda. I skipped the vampire hunter chapters, because they're useless.

I've got a copy of Children but have been afraid to open it. Based on your post, I'll have to take a look.

I liked it. It's different. This is a review I wrote of it at the time.

For some reason Smoke Ring and Integral Trees, although a brilliant, fascinating concept - put me right to sleep.

Totally forgot about the Dream Park. I just had a gustatory flashback of sitting in a Burger King on a break from work, eating a Whopper and reading that book.

I can’t be bothered to start a new thread.

Amazon and MGM are nearing a series order for this. Season 1 went into development yesterday in Ontario. CBS Television Studios / Star Trek is providing production support.

What do you mean by CBS Studio/Star Trek? Are members of the production team from Picard and/or Discovery working on it?

Footfall has my favorite Niven character -- Harry "Redd" Reddington -- and my favorite sequence in a Niven book -- when the Michael lifts off on its mission to beat the living snot out of the fithp.

"Sancho! My armor!"

Consider next time that it is easier to start a new thread than to find and resurrect one that is 10 years old.

Maybe don't stick an equally old thread at the top of the forum saying to consolidate threads? https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/please-start-consolidating-threads.130984/

The Discovery, Section 31 and soon Strange New Worlds crew and studio space gets subcontracted to make other series and movies during production breaks, with the co-executive producers of Discovery managing it all.

Known Space will likely be using the Strange New Worlds crew and studio space between seasons. The showrunner and co-executive producers are the same as Strange New Worlds, and it lists CBS Stages Canada as its studio.

But that post also explicitly says this:

If there isn't one in the first few pages (seriously, it doesn't take that much effort to check the second page for a thread), then feel free to make a new megathread.

I am reasonably certain you didn't find a 10 year old thread "in the first few pages."

Personally, I never understood the rule against dredging up an old thread if there was something relevant to add to it or continue it. Doesn't seem like such a big deal. But that's just me.
