Book: The long arm of Gil Hamilton

Details: (c) 1976 Larry Niven; Pub Ballantine Books 1976
Verdict: The long arm of Gil Hamilton is entertaining fluff.
Reasons for reading it: I am finding that Niven fills a very particular need, namely when I'm travelling and bored out of my mind, but too tired and too disturbed by airport atmosphere to concentrate on anything that needs serious attention. His stuff is just about intelligent enough to be more entertaining than sudoku, but not much more than that. So I was very happy to read this on the way back from Norway.
How it came into my hands:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cartesiandaemon, who is something of a fan of Niven, lent it to me.
