‘Lines Written Upon Learning That a Man Had Had His… di Hal Colebatch
Rather obscure poem which makes mythical allusions to legends, gods and the fervor of football fans. Six stanzas. Also published in Hal Colebatch, Spectators on the Shore: Poems, (1975), p. 40; and Hal Colebatch, The Earthquake Lands, (1990), p. 29.
Spectacular description of the initiation of the conquest of Wunderland with a follow-up of the salvation of the galaxy from the Thrint. Another Colebatch masterpiece!
Hal Colebatch wrote 3 stories that form half the book. The first story is a Man-Kzin "dark and stormy night" story (this story is why I gave the book 4.5 stars instead of 5). The other two involve Pak Protectors and "can we trust each other" plot lines. The next 2 stories, by Matthew J. Harrington continue the themes set by Colebatch, but involve more plot obfuscation in that the clues to the real story lines are introduced as an aside and caused me to reread the stories to validate my understanding of what just happened, and why. The last story, by Niven, is an off-hand speculation on why we're so damned deadly in the first place.… (altro)
There are a few clues on the cover that this is closely related to a classic novel. In fact, it's a scene by scene rewrite - but is a YA version. Strangely enough, the demands of the plot result in most of the Kzin turning out to be particularly feeble pirates.
The story seems to be reasonably faithful to Known-Space and the Man-Kzin wars canon, but is an unimportant contribution
