Over the many miles of loneliness it was born, carried on the wind, rustled by the half-sentient lichens and the dwarfed trees, murmured from one to another of the little creatures that huddled under crags in caves by shadowy dunes.

In no words, but in a dim pulsing of dread which echoed through Krieger's brain, the warning ran, They are hunting again.

Right.

But it is also the year Poul Anderson published The Broken Sword.

[laughs] So I, I, it goes on and on, and it's really compelling reading, but there's, I think, some jealousy here by the, uh, uh, likes of Fritz Leiber and, uh, Poul Anderson because it's effortless and it's simple.

Tau Zero.

Tau Zero by Poul Anderson.

It was published in 1970, nominated for the Hugo Award, and it's barely 200 pages long.
