A collection of short stories following the "misadventures" of bartender Rick Schumann. Decent set of stories...a few seemed to have been lifted from other anthologies. I found the world a bit confusing because Niven doesn't use his "known space" aliens so it is a bit odd to read a favorite author and feel like it isn't really him! I enjoyed lost, at time traveling story, and losing mars. Over all a good group of stories and though the repetiveness of the creature bios with each story leads you to believe that these stories were written over my years. Gets kind of annoying but do miss the big universe and big ideals that is usually Niven's specialty.
