Larry Niven's Svetz stories follow Hanville Svetz, a dimension-traveling agent sent to retrieve unusual specimens and creatures, with titles like The Flight of the Horse (1971) and Leviathan! built around individual retrieval missions gone strange. The separate tales were later gathered together with new material into the novel Rainbow Mars (1999).
