Just reread 'Protector' for the infinitilliardth time. Interesting parallels to Simcountry. Agreements? |

I prefer his Pournelle collaborations, but your reference and question are apt. |

Please elaborate for those of us that have never heard of Larry Niven or Protector. |

Classic science fiction author. A few minutes research would yield many titles worth reading for fans of the genre.
Protector is a highly imaginative tale dealing with an "explanation for Humanity" plot involving an alien race. Niven's views around evolution and sociology are readily apparent.
This is a must read in preparation for his more successful Ringworld series.
For a different track. You try HammerFall, the original "death by asteroid" story. |

@MVC
You mean the Co-dominium books? I guess they're alright. I prefer the known space, Betrayer of Worlds being the best book. |
