Description

The man-killing cats from Kzin are back in short novels by Gregory Benford, Mark O. Martin, Hal Colebatch & Paul Chafe. 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. . . .
**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 terrible of fates: capture by Kzin.
