On returning to New Caledonia, his ship is given the task of intercepting an unknown spacecraft coming through normal space. It turns out to be crewed by a very alien race, who had used laser propulsion and solar sails to cross interstellar space.

Blaine and the Navy must wrestle with the choices between genocide and peaceful coexistance. One of the finest first contact novels of all time.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Miller, Kurt - Cover Art (illustrator). First Baen Printing Stated. 385 Pages.The First Baen printing was released February 2020. Book One in the classic Lëgends Heorot Series from Genre Legends Larry Niven, Jerry, Pournelle,and Steven Barnes. The two hundred colonists on board the Geographic have spent a century in cold sleep to arrive here: Avalon, a lush, verdant planet light years from Earth. They hope to establish a permanent colony, and Avalon seems the perfect place. And so they set about planting and building. But their very presence has upset the ecology of Avalon. Soon an implacable predator stalks them, picking them off one by one. In order to defeat this alien enemy, they must reevaluate everything they think they know about Avalon, and uncover the planet's dark secrets. Spine-tingling ecological tale of terror. Few writers have a finer pedigree than those here. The scope of Larry Niven's work is so vast that only a writer of supreme talent could disguise the fact as well as he can. Niven is a true master. Jerry Pournelle is one of science fiction's greatest storytellers.Jerry Pournelle's trademark is first-rate action against well-realized backgrounds of hard science and hardball politics. Barnes gives us characters that are vividly real people, conceived with insight and portrayed with compassion and rare skill and then he stokes the suspense up to levels that will make the reader miss sleep and be late for work. Barnes combines imagination, anthropology and beautiful storytelling as he takes readers to the foot of the Great Mountain, today known as Mount Kilimanjaro.

It had been decelerating for weeks and it was still travelling fast enough to escape the Sun's gravity with ease. Now it was heading for Earth.

The colony quickly settles into an easy-going lifestyle as it builds its bridgehead; only one man, Cadmann Weyland, tries to insist on a more cautious and defensive approach, and he is derided for his pains. But Cadmann is proved terribly right, as things start to go mysteriously wrong, and the colonists begin to realise that on Avalon there are complex and lethal biological puzzles which they have not even begun to understand, including the strangest and most dangerous creature any human has ever had to face:- Review(s): "Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, authors of the international bestsellers 'Footfall' and 'The Mote In God's Eye', here team up with Steven Barnes to present the most convincing and hair-raising novel ever of humans struggling to survive on a strange new world":- (original cost unmarked).

Robert Heinlein called it "possibly the finest science fiction novel I have ever read". The San Fransisco Chronicle declared that "as science fiction, 'The Mote In God's Eye' is one of the most important novels ever published".

There, twenty-five years have passed since the second Empire of man quarantined the mysterious aliens known only as Moties within the confines of their own solar system. Humanity's finest minds have spent the last quarter century analyzing and agonizing over the deadly threat posed by the only aliens mankind has ever encountered - a race divided into distinct biological forms, each serving a different function. Master. Mediator. Engineer. Warrior. Each supremely adapted to its task, yet doomed by millions of years of evolution to an inescapable fate. For the Moties must breed - or die. And the single wall standing between them and the galaxy beyond is beginning to crumble:- (original cost $22.00).
