In November, we asked you to tell us the title of your favorite work by the late Jerry Pournelle for a chance to win a copy of the new collection, The Best of Jerry Pournelle.

My favorite book, and still an excellent read, is The Legacy of Heorot in collaboration with Larry Niven and Steven Barnes. I remember picking this book up from the bookstore because the title caught my eye during the time we were studying the original Beowulf and Grendel. I remember thinking the novel captured some of the essence of the original Grendel story.
