Larry Niven

I know his Ringworld series are famous, anyone like any more books by him. Personally I love The Integral Trees the setting is very unique.

His only work I ever read was Ringworld itself, and I liked it pretty much. Therein Niven shows a gift for creating characters who are truly alien, and yet sympathetic, which is a rare thing indeed - so many other sci-fi shows and books depict aliens as, pretty much, humans in strange suits.

[Sundog]

I love the "Gil the ARM" short stories (collected in the book Flatlander). I think his best work was a collaboration with Jerry Pournelle: the novel The Mote in God's Eye. It has a slightly weaker sequel called either The Moat around Murcheson's Eye or The Gripping Hand.

I've read a number of his books. "World of Ptaavs" and "A World Out of Time" are particular standouts, in my view. The short story "What Use is a Glass Dagger?", which is actually fantasy rather than SF, is extremely good too.

Larry Niven, Steven Barnes....


"DREAM" FRACKING "PARK".

Find it read it love it, wish you had wrote it yourself.

Then read the sequel.

I do believe it has two sequels at this point. I don't remember what the other one was called, though.

My favorite is another collaboration with Pournelle, Footfall. Oath of Fealty is a close second, though (<3 Arcologies).
