Limits

This is a random assortment of 12 stories of varying lengths by Larry Niven (occasionally in collaboration with other writers). Five of them belong to his series of Draco Tavern stories; the others are unrelated to each other.

The first story, “The Lion in his Attic”, is a fantasy story involving magic, and not an exceptionally good one in terms of plot, but I'm fond of the incidental details, and I'd give it 4 stars.

I'd give 3 stars to another fantasy story, “Talisman”.

The other 10 stories are all science fiction, but not among his best. I'd give them all 2 or 2.5 stars, except for two of the Draco Tavern stories, “The Green Marauder” and “War Movie”, which are interesting/amusing enough for 3 stars.

Nothing here is really bad, the stories are all readable enough, but I don't feel a need to own most of them.
