Interpretation Concering Books Protector (Known Space)
Phssthpok the Pak had been traveling for most of his thirty-two thousand years. His mission: save, develop, and protect the group of Pak breeders sent out into space some two and a half million years before...Brennan was a Belter, the product of a fiercely independent, somewhat anarchic society living in, on, and around an outer asteroid belt. The Belters were rebels, one and all, and Brennan was a smuggler. The Belt worlds had been tracking the Pak ship for days -- Brennan figured to meet that ship first...
He was never seen again -- at least not by those alive at the time.

Inventive, iconic and fun. This is pulp sci-fi at its best! Enough hard-science stuff to make it enjoyable and believable, with fun characters and an excellent entry into the Known Space universe. It lays some great groundwork for the other novels in a cohesive way and yet stands well on its own.Definitely worth a read if you are a sci-fi type, especially if you enjoy hard-sci-fi and/or have ever read any of the Known Space novels (e.g. Ringworld).Old read. Probably my favorite Niven book.
Author's Envy! I wish I'd written this book! Here's why: http://www.mark-hodder.com/authorsenv...
We always knew there was something wrong with growing old. Larry Niven tells us why. One of the most moving stories I have ever read.
WOW ! Probably the first book in the series about the ET species called the PAK and its relationship with humanity. The rest of the series were entitled Ringworld. I am not sure this was the first in the order that Niven wrote them however. It is a great book. High tech., good science and extra terrestrials ! What more could anyone ask. It is written by the best author in the this genre, or any genre. Highly recommended !
Protector is a excellent novel in Niven's Known Space series, a thought provoking book that covers a vast amount of space and time (the basic elements of sf!) in a relatively short book. Niven strength here is his ability to create believable aliens and cast them in scientifically challenging and plausible situations. (It's been said that his alien characters are more realistic than his human ones.) Protector is a good old hard-sf novel, well worth searching out. (And I love the Dean Ellis cover
The first book written by Niven that I read. Even though the final parts felt a bit "rushed", I really liked his style so I will definitely read more of his works in the future.
