"NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN NIVEN AND POURNELLE. I LOVED IT!" --Tom Clancy They first appear as a series of dots on astronomical plates, heading from Saturn directly toward Earth. Since the ringed planet carries no life, scientists deduce the mysterious ship to be a visitor from another star. The world's frantic efforts to signal the aliens go unanswered. The first contact is hostile: the invaders blast a Soviet space station, seize the survivors, and then destroy every dam and installation on Earth with a hail of asteriods. Now the conquerors are descending on the American heartland, demanding servile surrender--or death for all humans. "ROUSING . . . THE BEST OF THE GENRE." --The New York Times Book Review From the Paperback edition.

Janissaries III

In the year 3016, the Second Empire of Man spans hundreds of star systems, thanks to the faster-than-light Alderson Drive. No other intelligent beings have ever been encountered, not until a light sail probe enters a human system carrying a dead alien. The probe is traced to the Mote, an isolated star in a thick dust cloud, and an expedition is dispatched. In the Mote the humans find an ancient civilization--at least one million years old--that has always been bottled up in their cloistered solar system for lack of a star drive. The Moties are welcoming and kind, yet rather evasive about certain aspects of their society. It seems the Moties have a dark problem, one they've been unable to solve in over a million years.

La Paja en el ojo de Dios

Hace un cuarto de siglo, una expedición descubrió el sistema de la Paja y la humanidad tuvo su primer contacto con otra especie inteligente, cuya expansión por la galaxia resultaría letal para los hombres. En aquel entonces, éstos fueron capaces de contener a los alienígenas encerrándolos en su lugar de origen. Pero ahora, la peor pesadilla se ha hecho realidad: los pajeños han superado el cerco, y la voz de alarma llega demasiado tarde. La guerra por el Imperio ha empezado. Dieciocho años después de publicar La Paja en el Ojo de Dios, todo un clásico de la ciencia ficción, Larry Niven y Jerry Pournelle asumieron el reto de escribir la segunda parte. Como resultado, esta absorbente novela que nos transporta de nuevo a uno de los universos más verosímiles y fascinantes de la historia del género.

They - and humanity - have one hope: that somehow, someone will have both the vision and the strength to grasp the tattered remnants of civilization and weld them into a single galaxy-spanning society.
