Earth is a failed Pak colony, a two-and-a-half million year old experiment gone awry. The nearest thing on earth to the Pak was probably the militaristic Spartan civilisation of ancient Greece. It is as if Mr Niven anticipated Dawkin's 'Selfish Gene' hypothesis and 'Independence Day' in a leap of the imagination one day in the early 1970's. The pinnacle of evolutionary success for this race is the Protector, the full-adult warrior class member who lives to fight and further his genetic blood line by winning territory and destroying all competition. But the real reason I like this one is the entertaining alien species, the Pak. ![]() Niven is good at picking up realistic science, across the disciplines, particularly physics and biology, and taking the ideas to the next stage, and the next, and the next.

This book is dedicated to my adoptive mother, May, who, as well as being such a wonderful mother, passed her love of tennis on to me. Let me pause on that name for a moment in happy contemplation. It was the days of Björn Borg, John McEnroe, Ilie Năstase, and of course Chris Evert, Virginia Wade, Billie Jean King, and Martina-the-goddess Navratilova. It didn’t take long for me to enjoy curling up on the couch with Mum, as absorbed as she was. For two weeks, us kids scrounged our own food, got ourselves ready for school, and could stay up as late as we wanted-as long as we were watching the tennis. My mother would be hunched on the sofa, staring at the TV, an untouched cuppa and a Rich Tea biscuit beside her.

The NLRB ruled in 2004 that graduate assistants are primarily students, not employees. The teaching assistants union files a grievance under the contract claiming that the requirement to grade essay questions impermissibly explains the assistants’ workload and violates past practice. The professor leading the course decides to change the final exam to essay questions. The past practice reveals that the final exam has always been a multiple-choice test. ![]() Several graduate assistants are assigned to teach and grade 15-student sections of a major survey course in American history.

The title, cover, and plot summary were flashing caution lights. And in this case, it is difficult, because I myself am still trying to understand why.
