If I recall correctly BVS-1 is also Phssthpok's Star from Protector.

Yeah, the one Brennan used to fight the pak near the end of the novel. I always thought it was weird he named it after the guy he killed. lol

The best science fiction author by a mile. Niven’s stories always encompass hard science and big ideas. I’ve loved his known space novels for 50 years. I always thought they would, in chronological order, make for a fantastic tv series, all the short stories and the novels. I think his earliest known space,, using the internal chronology of known space, story is possibly the Gil “the arm” Hamilton stories. Followed by World of Ptaavs, then A Gift From Earth, then Protector. What a great start that would be to a tv series. You have probably got two full seasons in just those few stories. The longer stories obviously serialised.

I love Larry’s writing not only does it often strike me as a bit poetic but the stories are killer.

I’m so glad you’re focusing on these Niven stories. Would you consider doing some of the short stories from the book N-space or similar collections? Short but fun. Example: “The subject is closed” is I believe 6 pages long but it’s a very thought provoking one.

Yeah, Niven is so much fun to read! I have a vague plan of doing all his work eventually.

Larry Niven and Jerry P co-wrote Lucifer's Hammer, the best post apocalyptic novel ever. The rights for the film have been moved around different players and it looks like it'll never happen which is just as well 'cause woke hollyweird would screw it all up. I've read Niven's entire Known Space series and just about everything he wrote. I like his writing style and his characters.

Niven had a poor understanding of differential gravitation.
