  Who is Brenda Cooper?

  Is this the first time Niven has co-authored with a woman?

No. It's not even the first time he has co-authored with Brenda
Cooper, according to Brenda Cooper's web site.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

  Ah, thanks.

  That's a practically Andersonian publication rate there. Shame
it's all short material, which means so far I haven't read it. Must go
dibs the novel now....

  Clarification: I am refering to Poul here, not Kevin J.

  And in an example of Its A Small World, that's one of the
manuscripts I was already going to get* this week from work. Yay me!

* I work for Bookspan, reading and reviewing F, SF and Mystery so I see
a lot of material half a year before publication. I only add this because
in my experience saying I have manuscript X without explaining how I got
it legally can result in nasty letters.

Wow. I'd say that was a dream job, except you have to read the bad SF too. But
it'd still be a great job...

Sorry, I already sent out a nasty letter to you.

First thing I thought of when I saw the picture was the robot troop carriers
in Star Wars 1: The Phantom Menace.

Anybody else see the similarity or is my memory failing?

Well, I am about half-way through.

  How about this? If it's bad, I just won't say anything about
reading it, in the hope you all will forget I have it and if it's good,
I'll suddenly post an offer to do a spoiler-free review at about 9:21 pm
my time.

  Any problems with a spoiler-free review some time tomorrow?
