The Patchwork Girl (1980) [Illustrated] by Larry Niven (ed. Jerry eBooks 2015)
Only the most beautiful girl on Luna could have sent a near fatal laser beam into the chest of the Fourth Speaker for the Asteroids. It’s an open and shut case, so investigator Gil ‘the Arm’ Hamilton will have to move fast to save her from the organ banks where criminals repay society with their body parts.
Flash Crowd (1973) Novella
"Flash Crowd" is a 1973 novella by science fiction author Larry Niven, one of a series about the social consequence of inventing an instantaneous, practically free transfer booth that could take one anywhere on Earth in milliseconds. One consequence not foreseen by the builders of the system was that with the almost instantaneous reporting of newsworthy events, tens of thousands of people worldwide — along with criminals — would flock to the scene of anything interesting, hoping to experience or exploit the instant disorder and confusion so created. In various other books, for example Ringworld , Niven suggests that easy transportation might be disruptive to traditional behavior and open the way for new forms of parties, spontaneous congregations, or shopping trips around the world.
The Soft Weapon (1967) Novelette (ed. Jerry eBooks 2016)
Worlds of IF, February 1967, Vol. 17, No. 2., Issue 111
The Outsider were a billion years dead, but some of their weaponry survived – and could destroy Man!
The Time of the Warlock (1984) Illustrated Novel
Magicians and swordsmen in Larry Niven’s exciting "pre-history" world fight constantly, with magicians usually gaining the upper hand, and magicians often struggle for power amongst themselves.
Mana, the ultimate source of magic, has been depleted, a nonrenewable energy source, as the ancient gods die. In this tale of linked stories, the Warlock fights a swordsman, a werewolf, demons and fellow magicians. Together with a colorful band that includes a haunted Greek swordsman, a beautiful witch-sorceress, and the talking skull of a former enemy magician, the Warlock travels around the world, from what is now California to Scandinavia and to the Alps, to seek the last living god in his hidden cave, the god of love and madness.
