Draco Tavern - Larry Niven

Descriere Draco Tavern - Larry Niven

New York Times bestselling author Niven presents 26 tales and vignettes from this interplanetary gathering place called Draco Tavern, collected for the first time in one volume. \n \nWhen a tremendous spacecraft took orbit around the Earth's moon and began sending smaller landers down toward the North Pole, the newly arrived visitors quickly set up a permanent spaceport in Siberia. Their presence attracted many, and a few people grew conspicuously rich from secrets they learned from talking to the aliens. One of these men, Rick Schumann, established a tavern catering to all of the various species of visiting aliens, a place he named the Draco Tavern. \nFrom the mind of #1 New York Times bestselling author Larry Niven come twenty-six tales and vignettes from this interplanetary gathering place, collected for the first time in one volume, including: \n \nThe Subject Is Closed: A priest visits the tavern and goes one-on-one with a chirpsithra alien on the subject of God and life after death.\n \nTable Mannners: A Folk Tale: Rick Schumann is invited to hunt with five folk aliens, but he's not quite sure what their hunt entails, or if he will be the hunted.\n \nLosing Mars: In this previously unpublished tale, a group of aliens who call Mars and its moon home arrive at the tavern only to find that humans have mostly forgotten about their neighboring planet.\n
