reviewed Neutron Star by Larry Niven (Known Space (3))

Your basic engineering sci-fi

Definitely a product of its time -- a bunch of short stories, where the protagonists are physics and general left-brain approach to problems. The writing is bare-bones, the characters are paper-thin, the politics are facepalmingly dated. My three stars are because I like physics in my sci-fi, but it's more like 2.5 stars really.
