Review title: a puffed-up paen to an over-inflated ego
Product review: It seems that most, if not all of Niven's lates works (post-1989) concentrate upon stock one dimensional characters, and an incredible amount of self-referential material. Worst of all, are his short introductions, in w hich he "modestly" refers to himself with ill-disguised admiration. His ego is apparently boundless.
