Related to material in Fleet of Worlds
by Larry Niven (w/E.M. Lerner)
Excellent novel set 200 years before the time of Ringworld, the 1970 Niven award-winner. You'll find out much more about Puppeteers and how they attempted to manipulate human history. IMHO, this is Niven's best effort in years. Recommended.
