So, yeah, it brings some new ideas, but at the same time it's really boring and hard to follow. Meanwhile, detailed negotiations and planning take place, so you don't get out of that for the entire length of the story.
But at the same time, they get to the Moties' star system only after two thirds of the book, a part of the story that is only about people discussing things and planning things and arguing things, then the last part is a prolonged space battle between so many parties that nothing is clear. In a sense, The Gripping Hand is more than the first book, it's more cerebral and grips (heh!) the reader in even more details. The action in the books is also happening decades apart.Īs I was saying some days ago, I liked the first book quite a lot. The third one, Outies, was published in 2010 and it written by Pournelle's daughter. The second book in the series, The Gripping Hand, was published in 1993, also a collaboration.
Written in collaboration by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, the first book, The Mote in God's Eye, was released in 1975.
