Of *course* Niven's FTL drive had no relation to the other space
drives in use and hasn't been well explained.  If we understood it why
would we have to buy it from the Outsiders???  For that matter, if we
understood it we would probably understand why intelligent races like
the Outsiders and the Puppeteers won't ride in the damned things.
