Negative Positive
Title: Read this book and read the sequel; "The Gripping Hand".
Review: Like a lot of Niven/Pournelle's work, the characters in these two stories are not miles deep; despite the fact that they can get INCREDIBLY talky at times.Nonetheless, the imaginative firepower required to create the beings, the culture and the civilization of the Moties is nothing short of awe-inspiring.If you buy "The Mote," go ahead and order "The Gripping Hand" at the same time. You will not want to leave this fascinating universe any sooner than you have to.
