Pandoras Star & Judas Unchained [spoilers]

The FTL system was somewhat unconvincing (requiring pre-existing, naturally-occurring wormholes rather than artificially-created ones IIRC), even by the normally fudgeable standards of SF.

This is great:

Got your tarot cards ready?

Niven, in The Mote, uses the same method as Bujold in the Vorkosiverse and Michael McCollum in the Antares trilogy. I don't know which SF writer used it first.

The wormhole paths are the creation of an immeasurably superior alien race, millions of years in advance of humanity, however.

Magic is more believable if the author says it is from a million year old civilization.

You mean use a wormhole to pull a (heavily evolved rabbit) out of a hat?
