The Kzin were the mightiest warriors in the galaxy, which they were wasting no time in conquering, one star system at a time. Then those feline lords of creation ran into those ridiculous weed-eating pacifistic apes who called themselves humans . And the catlike Kzin found they had their collective tail caught in a meat grinder. When the mighty Kzin moved in to take over the monkey-infested worlds, they got clobbered. The humans, with their underhanded monkey cunning, turned communications equipment and space drives into weapons that cut the dauntless Kzin heroes into ribbons. And then those underhanded humans gained a faster-than-light drive, and no amount of screaming and leaping could keep the Kzin from losing their first war in centuries of successful conquest. But you can't keep a good warcat down, and the Kzin have by no means given up. New weapons, new strategies, and new leaders: Here they come again and those monkey-boys from Earth had better watch their backs. Once again, it's howling time in Known Space!]]> Thu, 24 Nov 2016 21:36:25 +0200 Treasure Planet - eARC https://writing.library.land/hal-colebatch/304867-treasure_planet_-_earc.html https://writing.library.land/hal-colebatch/304867-treasure_planet_-_earc.html Treasure Planet - eARC

The first colonists from Earth named the planet Wunderland. Generations later, the felinoid alien invaders called Kzin came and turned it into a hell for humans. Touched on in other accounts of the Man-Kzin wars, here for the first time is the decades-long saga of Wunderland: how the Wunderlanders first learned of the Kzin attacks on Earth by slower-than-light communications, barely in time to prepare to fight back. How the valiant human defenders turned to guerilla warfare in the Wunderland jungles and caves after the feline warrior race had destroyed or seized the cities. How, after the war ended in an ignominous defeat for the Kzin, some humans and Kzin worked for good will between the two species-their work complicated by humans wanting revenge and Kzin who still saw humans as a somewhat annoying food source. And how a human-Kzin team was sent to investigate a mysterious asteroid and found a threat not only to both species, but to the entire galaxy. The humans wanted to destroy it, but the Kzin wanted to exploit it, and the only hope was a Kzin telepath raised by humans from a cub. Which side would he choose, monkey or warcat?]]> Thu, 24 Nov 2016 21:36:58 +0200 The Man-Kzin Wars 07 mw-7 https://writing.library.land/hal-colebatch/393108-the_man-kzin_wars_07_mw-7.html https://writing.library.land/hal-colebatch/393108-the_man-kzin_wars_07_mw-7.html The Man-Kzin Wars 07 mw-7
Bruno was the most stable linker, but linkers always went catatonic after a certain amount of time connected to high level computers. Bruno knew intellectually that he had to minimize link time. But with the link he was so much more--he could see all. He could extract all possible effectiveness from his ship and maybe save himself and his love from a horrible fate.]]> Wed, 25 Nov 2015 12:08:58 +0200 Treasure Planet https://writing.library.land/hal-colebatch/304866-treasure_planet.html https://writing.library.land/hal-colebatch/304866-treasure_planet.html Treasure Planet
