Order of Man-Kzin Wars Books
The Man-Kzin Wars is a series of military science fiction anthologies and novels created by American author Larry Niven. The series is set in the same universe as Niven’s Known Space series. The stories are about the war between humans and the race known as the Kzinti. Although Niven created the series, he only wrote a few stories in the series, as he is not versed in writing military conflict. The series features stories by Niven, Poul Anderson, Jerry Pournelle, S.M. Stirling, Greg Bear, Donald Kingsbury, Thomas T. Thomas, Mark O. Martin, Gregory Benford, Hal Colebatch, Paul Chafe, Warren W. James, Charles E. Gannon and many others. The cover art in the series is illustrated by Stephen Hickman.
The Man-Kzin Wars began in 1988 with the title book of the series, The Man-Kzin Wars. The series is currently ongoing. Below is a list of Larry Niven’s Man-Kzin Wars books in order of when they were originally released (as well as in chronological order):
