<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Writing separately, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle are responsible for a number of science fiction classics, such as the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning <i>Ringworld, Debt of Honor, </i> and <i>The Integral Trees.</i> Together they have written the critically acclaimed bestsellers <i>Inferno, Footfall, </i> and <i>The Legacy of Heorot, </i> among others. <br> <i>The Mote In God's Eye</i> is their acknowledged masterpiece, an epic novel of mankind's first encounter with alien life that transcends the gen<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Writing separately, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle are responsible for a number of science fiction classics, such as the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Ringworld, Debt of Honor, and The Integral Trees.
