A World Out of Time
2 journalers for this copy...
I pulled this out of one of my TBR crates, only to find I'd read it before.
This is Niven's first novel in the Rammer universe. I had thought it recent, but in fact it dates from the 1970s, shortly after Rammer itself was published.
The first chapter of the novel is a re-working of the original short story; the book then takes off in its own direction. It was all enjoyable, although I don't like much of the science (I think the timescale is wrong for the plate tectonics, and the immortality treatment doesn't fit with modern notions of ageing mechanisms)
