This is the first book in a series that introduces humans to another race in space: the Kzinti, a race of large warrior cats. In the first tale we learn of the encounter with humans who win the battle because they have superior technology. The second tale is exciting as a human commander finds himself and his crew out manned and outgunned by the Kzinti. On a scientific expedition, she find an outpost of the race that strives to destroy them before they can relate their discovery to the home planet. The final tale finds one man, a scientist, who survives the explosion of his ship and becomes a captive of a Kzinti warring crew. Set down alone on a planet which has artificial environments he must learn how to survive before his captors return to pick him up. I enjoyed this short tale, too, as this pathetic man pits his wits against a superior force both technically and physically.
