Yet another collaboration by Larry Niven - this time with Edward Lerner. I'm not sure just how much of this novel (and the sequels) was written by Niven.

I very strongly suspect that there are portions written entirely by Lerner. For example, Louis Wu goes to a bar / bars. gets drunk to lure Achilles' accomplices to kidnap him - like a bad sitcom. I rated the novel "C++" - it would have been lower but for familiar characters.

My rating system: I begin with one star being equivalent to a rating of "C -". Progressing upwards, I add ½ star for each step, up to the maximum 5 stars, which is equivalent to a rating of "A"+. I reserve ½ star for BOMBS, there being no option of zero or negative stars.
