Howdy DBros,

So I'm just doing my normal searches, looking at some old sci-fi books and saw this in the related images:

Cover of the first edition (Spring 1987) of a paperback version of a sci-fi short story magazine, New Destinies.

Later editions even feature Larry Niven of Ringworld fame.

Figured the Bungie.org collective would get a kick out of this, coincidence or not.

Upon further research

That cover is based on Niven as well.

Maybe we should stop looking for Bungie story bibles and just pick up Ringworld... or I could do more research before posting like some jagoff.

Thanks to kanbo for pointing out the connection to me. Very cool stuff.
