There are a whopping two women in this book and the sequel fridges both of them.

I spent reading time I now wish I had back on the last Heorot novel and it appears Niven has spent his career honing to a fine point his skills at pandering to a generation[1] that is now dying off.

[1] Actually, just the pale patriarchal penis possessing portion of said generation.

+1.

On the other hand, if Niven did not exist I would not be able to use him as a worked example of how not to develop my own writing career.

I still suspect step 1* remains viable, but it has become no easier to implement.
