Pierson's puppeteers, strange, three-legged, two-headed aliens, have discovered an immense structure in a hitherto unexplored part of the universe.

Seller's Description:
Fair. Signed. Signed by Niven on title page. Very heavy wear, including creasing and rubbing, and binding is barely holding. We try to note every flaw we can find, and we are quite picky, so buy with confidence! 100% guaranteed!
