"...was the mishmash at the end of T#otB the beginning of the
trend we've seen with Niven ("Engineers") and Asimov ("Foundation's
Edge" and "Robots of Dawn") on the part of authors to try and make
ALL of their various plot lines come together?"
Actually, the Niven books (commonly called the Known Space series), were
all tied together long before Ringworld Engineers came out. In a note
in another book, Niven explains why the Pak weren't discovered to be the
engineers in the first book.
