Robert Heinlein recommends
Moon of Ice (1988)
Brad Linaweaver
"I greatly enjoyed Moon of Ice. It reminded me sharply of how close we came to losing World War II. It's a good story."
The Mote in God's Eye (1974)
(Moties, book 1)
Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle
"Possibly the finest science fiction novel I have read."
The Last Starship from Earth (1968)
John Boyd
"Terrific...it belongs on the same shelf with 1984 and Brave New World."
Red Heroin (1965)
(Paul Crane, book 1)
Wade Curtis (Jerry Pournelle)
"A hell of a good yarn... the most realistic counter-espionage story I've read in a long, long time."
Paingod and Other Delusions (1965)
Harlan Ellison
"This book is raw corn liquor - you should serve a whiskbroom with each shot so the customer can brush the sawdust off after he gets up from the floor."
