  Crashlander - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crashlander is a fixup by Larry Niven published in 1994, set in his Known Space universe.
A crashlander, in Known Space, is anyone from the planet We Made It.
As the names imply, the colonists who first settled the planet almost didn't.

 Ringworld's Children - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For instance, two stories in the Crashlander short-story anthology consider separately the implications of a superfast hyperdrive ("At The Core") and medical nanotechnology ("Procrustes").
This is a reference to a third short story ("Flatlander") in the Crashlander anthology that describes the discovery of the antimatter planet Cannonball Express.
Another, more obscure reference to a Beowulf Shaeffer story, The Borderland of Sol, regards creatures that eat spaceships living in Hyperspace around gravity wells, thus explaining why ships cannot safely engage their hyperdrive close to a large mass (which was previously described as a singularity before this revelation).

 Crashlander by Larry Niven   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
CRASHLANDER has some good material, but the latest writing shows that Niven's treatment of his Known Space universe has become very poor indeed.
They contradict previous Niven stories (such as mentioning the Trinocs when they won't be met for another 200 years, the Puppeteer Fleet of Worlds, etc.) and end in an inexplicable murder that is nothing but a deus-ex-machina.
Crashlander contains the collected stories of Beowulf Shaeffer, the man who, in Niven's Known Space, discovered the core explosion and, as it turns out, did a number of other things as well.

 Local bands rock out DC9 - The Scene   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
RSRD simply needs to reach the point during a live show where their music and their audience click, and the audience has no choice but to remain raptly engaged for the duration of the set.
Crashlander, a fairly new local act, has actually reached that point of engagement.
Crashlander, who is reminiscent of bands like AC/DC or Aerosmith, played a pounding set of arena-ready rock that is all the more impressive when you realize that this band has not actually been together for all that long.

 SKETCH BATTLE! NOW!!! » Yirmumah
I’m trying to keep it actual SKETCHY looking, looks like a lot of guys try doing full on comics, and that’s no challenge at all, so tune into our battles for something a little different than you’re use to seeing from Yirmumah.
Crashlander doesn’t have a sketch, and his jibes and the setup for his “sketch” is in the text.
After I voted it was 55.6 for Uri and 44.4 for Crashlander with votes still coming in.

 Crashlander by Larry Niven Detailed Book Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Crashlander is a collection of stories about Beowulf Schaeffer - those who have read Ringworld will remember him as the man who discovered the core explosion.
In Crashlander, we find out about that adventure, as well as a number of others.
Beowulf's motto is "the universe is trying to kill me," and from him that's not paranoia, just common sense - it does try, again and again.

 SKETCH BATTLE! NOW!!! » Yirmumah
This week, we’re against “Crashlander” — I’m going to try to get them to fix the comments thing and the naming thing as soon as possible.
I think Crashlander is going to end up getting schooled.
I can’t wait till the Yirmumah fans bring about “the biggest injustice in internet history” as Crashlander said.

 GPS Navigation system reviews.: Books: Crashlander
For fans of Niven's other "Known Space" novels and short stories, this Beowulf Schaeffer collection is a must.
It wasn't until finishing "Crashlander" that I realized just exactly who Louis Wu is. Wu (the central character of the "Ringworld" novels) doesn't appear directly in "Crashlander," but he is mentioned in a manner that makes his origins clear.
A few might cattily say his aliens are better than his humans.) A fascinating future presented by one of the best sf writers still writing.

This book chronicles the short stories Niven wrote featuring Beowolf Shaeffer.
Beowolf is a Crashlander from the planet We Made It.
The first few of these short stories were written in the mid 1960's, another one in the mid 1970's, and the last one was written for this novel.
