book cover The Final Collaboration by a Master of Military SF

Avalon was finally thriving. The cold sleep colonists from Earth had settled on a verdant, livable world. The fast and cunning predators humans named grendels were under control, and mainland outposts had been established. Humans would survive. But unbeknownst to the planet-bound humans, something was moving out there in the stars. Its destination: Avalon. Its probable origin: Earth’s Solar System. The passengers it carried would change this world forever.

The long-awaited conclusion to the Heorot series from science fiction legends Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Steven Barnes.
