World of Ptavvs

By: Larry Niven

Narrated by: Bradford Hastings

Nothing quite prepared telepath Larry Greenberg for mind-to-mind contact with an alien. In the interest of science, Larry tapped the mind of Kzanol - and that was his first mistake.

Kzanol was a thrint from a distant galaxy. He had been trapped on Earth in a time-stasis field for two billion years. Now he was on the loose, and Larry knew everything he was thinking. Thrints lived to plunder and enslave lesser planets - and the planet Kzanol had in mind was Earth!

Larry Niven is amazing

I marathoned this book in a day and a half. I find the aliens that he writes to be fascinating. just like Babel 17, the mind and thought processes play a unique role ik the story.
My only problem is that Niven thought Dolphins had a moral code. I am sorry to say I read that and I choked on my tea because now we know Dolphins are monsters.

Very Imaginative - AKA Niven

Larry Niven is a wondeful storyteller with an amazing imagination. I always enjoy his books. This particular audiobook is well read and performed. A very emjoyable listen.

1963? could have been written lat week!

Great story! Excellent performance. A little hard to follow at first. Nice development of characters early on. Listened and smiled as our hero (s) made their way towards a wonderful end. Bravo!!

loved it

Loved it! Larry Niven's work is excellent. The characters are well thought out & relatable giving them almost addictive readability, and the performance was excellently done.

A decent listen

the narrator made the best out of a difficult book to listen to (vs reading)
