Synopsis
Bestselling science fiction superstars Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle combine their talents with those of Steven Barnes in an extraordinary adventure of humankind's first outpost in the farthest reaches of space. Light years from Earth, colonists land on a planet they name Avalon. It seems like a paradise--until native creatures savagely attack. It will take every bit of intelligence, courage, and military-style discipline to survive.

Review
''Outstanding! . . . The best ever, by the best in the field . . . The ultimate combination of imagination and realism. '' --Tom Clancy
''The Legacy of Heorot is well written, action packed, and tension filled . . . Makes Aliens look like a Disney nature film.'' --Washington Post
''Page-turning action and suspense, good characterization, and convincing setting . . . May be the best thing any of those authors has written.'' --Denver Post
''Spine-tingling ecological tale of terror . . . A story as relentless as the great white shark of Jaws.'' --Locus
''Entertaining . . . The novel is best in its sympathetic treatment of the once formidable scientists who wake from cold sleep with impaired mental powers.'' --Publishers Weekly
