490.0. "The Smoke Ring" by ZEPPO::TASCHEREAU () Thu Jun 18 1987 12:29

    Excuse me if this is contained within the sludge of note 243
    (I didn't feel like reading through that again), but I've
    recently seen this in a book store (for those of you who haven't
    seen/heard).
    
    It's Niven's sequel to The Integral Trees. I, for one, enjoyed
    I.T. and plan to read this one.

490.1SequelitisMORGAN::SCOLAROFri May 27 1988 14:0811
    The Smoke Ring has finally come out in paper-back, so I bought it.
    
    It is at least as good a read as Integral Trees, however Larry Niven
    seems to have fallen into sequelitis.  Nothing much happens with
    respect to resolving the main story line (Sharls Davis Kennedy).
    
    Don't get me wrong, I think Niven is as creative as ever.  His
    imagination is running a full throttle.  What's missing is real
    tension.

    There's a long short-story (novelettelette?) in the "N Space"
    collection.
