| Jan 14, 2020 at 1:01 | comment | added | Lorendiac | @OrganicMarble I was thinking much the same thing as I began reading the question, but I agree it doesn't sound like the same one. In Niven's version, that race (or chase, rather) finally ended, after many millennia had gone past, when the pilot of the first ship got tired of just running away from his pursuer and started hoping a truce was finally possible (it wasn't). | |
