I think it was with Jerry Pournelle.... They also wrote 'The Mote in God's Eye'.

Larry Niven writes with Purnelle.. or Pournelle and Barnes.... or Barnes. He's a whore. :D

I also reccomend 'The Dragons of Heorot'. Loved it.

believe it or not I am not a great fan of sci-fi novels.... but I do like some... like those mentioned in the quiz and subsequently. I also like Anne McCaffrey's Pern books and I LOVE her short novel 'the Ship Who Sang' which made me cry... :eek:

2. Arthur Paul Pedrick

All correct apart from number 2...

Oh god.... please K.. no links. I KNOW the answer to this.

The cat flap was invented CENTURIES before Pedricks time.... all he did was invent an advanced version of something that had already been in existance for almost 300 years.
