MKW

We (editorially speaking) have now read a Man-Kzin Wars trilogy by Poul Anderson and a prequel MKW trilogy by Jerry Pournelle and SM Stirling. We have become interested enough to read more, to find out how the series coheres and also how each author contributes to it. The two trilogies read so far influence each other. Pournelle's and Stirling's trilogy seems to end with Jonah and Tyra getting together although we know otherwise from reading Anderson's contributions.

We have in our possession but have not yet read:

in the opening volume, "Cathouse" by Dean Ing;

in Man-Kzin Wars II, "Briar Patch" by Dean Ing;

in V, "Hey Diddle Diddle" by Thomas T. Thomas;

in IX -

"His Sergeant's Honor" by Hal Colebatch;
 "Windows of the World" by Paul Chafe.

IV, containing a story by Stirling, should be in the post.

We will begin to read Ing's first installment but maybe not tonight.
