“Footfall” was a great book.

Always wonder how much was Niven and how much was Pournelle. Same with Lucifer's Hammer.

Lucifer’s Hammer was good. I think the Mote books were good, too.

Same here. I liked them both, and while he deserves the award I will say “He’s no Robert Heinlien”.

I once heard Pournelle say, "Larry's the better writer. I'm the better plotter."
