Larry Niven
This Hugo-nominated work is a classic of Niven's Known Space saga.
Phssthpok the Pak had been traveling for most of his thirty-two thousand years. His mission was to save, develop, and protect the group of Pak breeders sent out into space some two and a half million years before.
Brennan was a Belter, the product of a fiercely independent, somewhat anarchic society living in, on, and around an outer asteroid belt. The Belters were rebels, one and all, and Brennan was a smuggler. The Belt worlds had been tracking the Pak ship for days, and Brennan figured to meet that ship first.
He was never seen again - at least not by those alive at the time.

Among Niven's Best

These stories (there are really 2 stories combined into a single volume) were the first time Larry Niven played with his idea of the Pak---an imagined ancestor species to early hominids---and the Pak Protectors---ideal thinking and fighting machines who guard their bloodline. What happens if, in the future, space-faring humans encounter the Pak? What if humans could turn into Protectors?
It was an interesting thought experiment, and it turned into a powerful idea, one that Niven revisits multiple times in some of his later "known space" novels (e.g. Ringworld Engineers and Destroyer of Worlds). If you plan to read these books (or you have and are puzzled by the Pak backstory, this is the place for answers).
While the idea of the Protectors are an interesting one, the story around it is relatively bland. There is a lot of exposition on the nature of the Protectors but the actual action is rather thin.
So, if you like an interesting thought experiment or want more backstory on the Pak, this is worth picking up.
Tom Weiner is a very good narrator and he does a very good job here.

Great short story concept but thin novel

I wish there was a way to technically update the story without thinking it but I'm ok with it no matter its age.
