If you like the channel, consider buying a book from me. Ive curated a little collection of vintage, obscure or known-to-be-quality genre books on Etsy. All books are priced so that I profit about $5 after fees and shipping.

Protector by Larry Niven is an uneven, slightly dated first contact novel from the seventies. It pales in comparison to Mote In Gods Eye but has a small handful of compelling ideas to offer. A quick and rewarding-enough read.")
