Writing separately, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle are responsible for a number of science fiction classics, such as the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning RINGWORLD, DEBT OF HONOR, and THE INTEGRAL TREES. Together they have written the critically acclaimed bestsellers INFERNO, FOOTFALL, and THE LEGACY OF HEOROT, among others. Then there was LUCIFER'S HAMMER. But THE MOTE IN GOD'S EYE tops them all!
"A black hole in space. And piercing through, a beam of ruby light brighter than a hundred moons. Was it the eye on the face of God, or the blood-red sun of our first intergalactic visitors?"
