A Darker Geometry
Bruno was the most stable linker that Col. Buford Early's "wild talents" project could find, but linkers always went catatonic after a certain amount of time connected to high level computers. Bruno knew intellectually that he had to minimize cumulative link time; he had to stay sane for as long as possible. But with the link, he was so much more than human. He could see the All. And, more than that, he could extract every last bit of effectiveness from the ship he was piloting, and so - maybe, just maybe - save himself and his lady love, who is also his Captain, from that most horrible of fates: capture by Kzin.
The man-killing cats from Kzin are back in short novels by Gregory Benford, Mark O. Martin and Donald Kingsbury. The Kzin Third Fleet has decided a change of strategy is in order after two unpleasant defeats at the hands of the humans (or "monkeys") from Earth. Only luck or the Outsiders can save us now. . . . Original.

Man-Kzin wars VII
Three stories of the Man-Kzin wars help to fill in the blanks of the past and predict the future. In The Colonel's Tiger, we learn of the details of the ARMs control over the evils of man's depredations and war-mongering, and how that control almost made humans too 'pacifist' to defend themselves. A Darker Geometry reveals the story of the Outsiders decision point to give humanity the Hyperdrive... but not right now. It also adds a 'how it all began' chapter to the history of Niven's Known Space. Finally, Prisoner of War gives us a good old space battle, followed by Kzin-view of humanity's nature and a prediction of what will happen if mankind doesn't stop resting on its laurels of victory. I have read all the books in this series up to 11 but somehow missed this one. They are all good. This one is Really Good. I can't quite give it a 4th star, but it's very close. All in all I call this one a Really Good Read.
