I loved both “Inferno” and “Escape from Hell.” Niven and Pournelle did a great job on them. I take it you’ve also read N&P’s “Lucifer’s Hammer”? If not...you should. They are unusual in the sci-fi genre for having a very different political worldview, IMO.

Oh! You should pick up Varley’s “Steel Beach” if you get a chance. I think any Heinlein fan would really enjoy that one.

Regards,

I've read it. But it has been too many years ago. It's time to re-read it.

Now if I can find it in my library, I won't have to buy it again.

Another series in this genre, which begins to approach my own, is John Scalzi's "Old Man's War", which I thoroughly enjoyed.
