Tales of Known Space Volume 2 by Dave Brasgalla
Here’s a set that’s very special to my heart!
Icons from the “Known Space” story series by Larry Niven. They are some of my favorite books ever, and I recommend them to everyone: Tales of Known Space, Neutron Star, Ringworld, etc., available at your local bookstore.
Volume One dealt with the characters from Beowulf Schaeffer’s era. Volume 2, which you have just downloaded, deals with various spaceships. Unfortunately, I can’t do any characters that are exclusive to Ringworld, as that property is under development for a movie (!), so no Louis Wu or Teela Brown…
As far as I know, these are the first icons for these characters and ships, and perhaps the first time some of them have ever been depicted! Larry Niven himself has seen them, and his reaction was “Neat!”.
I read these stories as a child, stumbling upon them by my usual method of finding my father’s science fiction books lying about the living room. They have remained loyal companions throughout my life.
Special thanks and regards to Mr. Niven for his gracious permission and feedback!
This set is dedicated with love to my father, Emil Richard Brasgalla…
Enjoy!
