They should drop Star /bores, and start anew with something like “The Mote in God’s Eye.”

“The Mote in God’s Eye.”
One of the few SF books I’ve read. It would make an interesting film, for sure.

I have read much SF (and am writing one).
Mote is one of the best. Niven alone is very clever, but with Pournelle has gravitas.
