This was a very good book. Lots of action and good story lines. Interesting introduction to the Kzinti as a warrior species and a good second story in the book called Cat House. I found myself wanting more so I've gotten The Man Kzin Wars II from Paperback Swap as well.... now I think I am hooked on the series and will have to eventually get all 10?
Classic Sci-fi from classic writers. Given theage of the stories, I found them to be a bit dated, but still enjoyable. It was a nice peak into the early forming of a fictional universe of stories.
