Description

John Heinlein called it "probably the best science-fiction novel I've ever read." The Bay Area Chronicle announced that "as science-fiction, The Mote in God's Eye is among the most significant books ever released." Today Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, awardwinning writers of these best-sellers as Footfall and The Legacy of Heorot, return us to the Mote, and for the world of Kevin Renner and Horace Bury, of Pole Blaine and Sally Fowler. There, 25 years have passed since mankind quarantined the mysterious aliens referred to as Moties inside the limits of the own solar system. They've invested a quarter-century examining and distressing within the lethal danger posed by the only real aliens humanity has ever experienced-- a competition divided in to unique natural types, each offering another purpose. Grasp, Mediator, Manufacture.
