The world named Mount Lookitthat was never meant for humans - it was shrouded in lethal mists. Life existed only on one plateau, unreachable except from space. But the disastrous decision to colonize the planet could not be reversed. So the settlers survived somehow - under a ruthless dictatorship. Mount Lookitthat was rebellion-proof. Then fate dealt the colonists a wild card named Matthew Keller, who had a talent that neither he nor anybody else knew about. At last the colonists had a glimmer of hope!

I enjoyed 'A Gift from Earth' a lot and I found L. J. Ganser's narration to be very good too.

I love Larry Niven's writing.

A pleasant story and good reading. The plot, however, is a bit disjointed, with plot elements that are not very fleshed out

nice but disjointed classic sci-fi

I’ve read many of Larry Niven’s known universe series and enjoyed his standalone novel that takes place in his known universe.
It’s timeless, and the technology references are still not relevant today as when he wrote the novel

Nice stand alone Known Universe Story
