The Mote in God's Eye
Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle

Pocket, 1991

Piece of Scifi literary masterpiecec
Its been afew years since I have read the mote in gods eye, but i can still clearly remember the sequences where the tale literaly took my breath away, to stop reading a book, so that you can savour the anticipation or delight is not a common thing for me as a reader. ...

Blood Feuds (War World)
Jerry Pournelle

Baen, 1992

TOP OF THE LINE READING!!
I read this book years ago and it is still one of the best books I have read in my 40 years of life. The concept and storyline were so well developed and fun to read, it was a joy to get into this savage world of survival. A must read!!
  
  











  



  
Lucifer's Hammer
Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle

Del Rey, 1985

You read this and "racism" is what you came away with?
Thanks for wearing your sign, I'll know to ignore your opinion on anything else. This is a great story, thought provoking, a good entertaining adventure, maybe even a survival guide for the coming dark ages regardless which socialist senator 'wins' the Survivor: ...
  
  











  



  
Janissaries
Jerry Pournelle

Baen, 1996

A Surprising Classic
The original issue did far better than expected. Apparently, while both Pournelle and his publisher hoped for the best when it came out, the reception was superb. Thence came the demand for a sequel and later, after that, for the next one. In the mid 1980s, Pournelle ...
  
  











  



  
Inferno
Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle

Orb Books, 2008

This is more than a reprint of the 1976 homage to Dante
Renowned popular science-fiction writer Allen Carpentier makes a bet with his fans at a Los Angeles convention. Right out of War and Peace, he sits on the windowsill of a room on the hotel's eighth floor drinking a bottle of rum. About half way through he gags and ...
  
  











  



  
The Gripping Hand
Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle

Pocket, 1994

Different, but worthy
I happen to be re-reading this book right now, a copy of which "Operation Paperback" generously sent to Afghanistan for the benefit of deployed servicemembers. The book certainly is chock-full of talk. Page 206 (of the edition I read) is not unrepresentative: it ...
  
  











  



  
Burning Tower
Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle

Pocket, 2006

The magic continues
A reviewer above said these books [Burning City and Burning Tower] appeal only to hardcore Pournelle & Niven readers, and added that even they should only buy the books at discount. I heartily disagree. It's not Shakespeare, it's not Conrad, but it's not silly or ...
  
  











  



  
Footfall
Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle

Del Rey, 1986

Not just among the best...
Not just among the best invasion books ever written, but possibly THE best. Not only a great genre book, but good literature besides. These two are good authors by themselves, but when they work together, they approach Heinleinian levels of greatness. Fantastic.

Jerry Pournelle, S.M. Stirling

Baen, 2002

A Future That Will Not Be
The Prince (2002) is an omnibus edition containing the four novels of the Falkenberg's Legion series. These novels are based on the CoDominium universe in which the US and USSR joined forces against the rest of the world and started colonizing planets, mostly with ...
  
  











  



  
Falkenberg's Legion: Prince of Mercenaries
Jerry Pournelle

Baen, 1989

Great read for a Saturday afternoon
Excellent story with believable polital plotting in the background...also with excellent military strategies and quite realistic charactors for fiction....good starting read if you've never read anything by this writer before.
  
  











  



  
Fires of Freedom

The struggle for independence on two colony worlds?Mars in the not-so-distant future, and a distant world circling another star in the far future, both threatened by powerful forces and faceless bureaucrats.               Birth of Fire: A teenage delinquent on a crowded, corrupt Earth, Garrett was given a choice: rot in prison on Earth, or be ...
  
  











  



  
The Burning Eye (Warworld, Book 1)
John F. Carr, Roland Green

Baen, 1988

Pournelle's `War World' Series

Tran
Jerry Pournelle, Roland Green

Baen, 1996

Compliation
Tran is a continuation of Janissaries, and combines the 2nd and 3rd books; "Clan & Crown", and "Storms of Victory". If you enjoy this type of story, I'd also suggest David Drake's "Ranks of Bronze", Roman legionaries captured and sold to aliens to fight their battles. ...
