Protector by Larry Niven

Rating: WARTY!

"Jack Brennan is a simple space smuggler living on an asteroid colony - until an alien ship arrives and captures him. And after the encounter imbues him with special abilities, Brennan finds himself drawn into a devastating war" I refuse to read any novel with the tedious trope main character name of Jack. And why would aliens be imbuing aliens with special powers and hoping or expecting they would enter a war? Do they not have robot technology and AIs, if they already have the technology to go galavanting around the galaxy? Piss poor plot.
