Jerry Pournelle Books Overview

Prince of Mercenaries

The uneasy CoDominium peace alliance between the Americans and Soviets is threatened by internal conflicts, placing mercenary commander John Christian Falkenberg and Lysander, Prince of Sparta, at the forefront of a war. Reissue.

Prince of Sparta (With: S.M. Stirling)

After defeating the initial assault of Grand Senator Bronson’s Helot armies, the Spartans arm themselves to fend off another Helot attack, this one designed to exterminate the Spartans as a people.

Go Tell the Spartans

Called upon to train the people of the colony planet Sparta in the ways of war, mercenary John Christian Falkenberg and his Legion unwittingly transform their own deadly enemies into enemies of the planet as well. Reissue.

The Burning City

Each an acclaimed author in his own right, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle have collaborated on some of the biggest bestsellers in science fiction history, including the No. 1 ‘New York Times’ bestseller ‘Footfall,’ as well as ‘Lucifer’s Hammer, Inferno, Oath of Fealty,’ and ‘The Mote in God’s Eye.’ Now Niven and Pournelle have combined their award winning talents and imaginations to produce a masterpiece of epic fantasy that rivals the works of Robert Jordan and David Eddings. Set in the world of Niven’s popular ‘The Magic Goes Away,’ ‘The Burning City‘ transports readers to an enchanted ancient city that often bears a provocative resemblance to our own modem society. Here Yagen Atep, the volatile and voracious god of fire, holds sway, alternately protecting and destroying the city’s denizens. In Tep’s Town, nothing can burn indoors and no fire can start: by accident except when the Burning comes upon the city. Then the people, possessed by Yagen Atep, set their own town ablaze in a riotous orgy of destruction that often comes without warning. Whandall Placehold has lived with the Burning all his life. Fighting his way to adulthood in the mean but magical streets of the city’s most blighted neighborhoods, Whandall alone dreams of escaping the god’s wrath to find a new and better life. But his best hope for freedom may lie with Morth of Atlantis, the enigmatic sorcerer who killed his father! Both gritty and exotic, ‘The Burning City‘ is unique fantasy vision unlike any you have read before.

Burning Tower

Return to the ‘vivid and unusual’ Kirkus Reviews world of Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle’s The Burning City, where the fire god has retreated into myth, leaving the residents of Tep’s Town unprotected for the first time in their history.

Unfortunately, a fiery fate isn’t the only danger the town is facing. From out of the desert come monsters great birds with blades instead of wings, driven by some unknown force. Although they can be killed, the threat these terror birds pose is worse than death. Danger on the roads means no trade. No trade means that Tep’s Town will be no more.

Sent by the Lords of Lordshills to discover the source of the terror birds, Lord Sandry and his beloved, Burning Tower, must travel into a world where magic is still strong and wheresomeone or something waits to destroy them!

Filled with the sweeping adventure, memorable characters, and imaginative world building that have defined the novels of Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, Burning Tower is another triumph.

The Legacy of Heorot

Bestselling science fiction superstars Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle combine their talents with those of rising young author Steven Barnes in an extraordinary adventure of humankind’s first outpost in the farthest reaches of space. 5 maps.

Beowulf’s Children / The Dragons of Heorot

This powerhouse trio of science fiction greats united to further explore the island paradise of Camelot from their classic novel, Legacy of Herorot. A new generation is growing up on the island paradise of Camelot, ignorant of the Great Grendel Wars fought when their parents and grandparents first arrived on Earth. Setting out for the mainland, this group of young rebels feels ready to fight any grendels that get in their way. On Avalon, however, there are monsters which dwarf the ones their parents fought, and as the group will soon learn, monsters also dwell in the human heart.

The Stars at War

Arthur Clarke said it first: if mankind is to survive, then fro all but a very brief part of our history the word ‘ship’ will mean ‘space ship.’ We will spread through space. We will build a colony on the Moon: if we had a government of courage and imagination we would have that in time to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Columbu’s voyages of discovery. As it is, it will take a bit longer; but we will go back to the Moon. We will settle other moons, and asteroids and the planets; and we will go to the stars. Where mankind goes, government goes. It is no idle thing, then, to think about what forms of government we will take to the stars. We in this enlightened age think we know; but do we? We are, after all, no smarter than our ancestors. We know more, but that’s quite a different thing and we have forgotten much that we had best relearn before we pay for what they knew and we don’t.

Inferno

After being thrown out the window of his luxury apartment, science fiction writer Allen Carpentier wakes to find himself at the gates of hell. Feeling he’s landed in a great opportunity for a book, he attempts to follow Dante’s road map. Determined to meet Satan himself, Carpentier treks through the Nine Layers of Hell led by Benito Mussolini, and encounters countless mental and physical tortures. As he struggles to escape, he’s taken through new, puzzling, and outlandish versions of sin recast for the present day.

Escape from Hell

Allan Carpenter escaped from hell once but remained haunted by what he saw and endured. He has now returned, on a mission to liberate those souls unfairly tortured and confined. Partnering with the legendary poet and suicide, Sylvia Plath, Carpenter is a modern day Christ who intends to harrow hell and free the damned. But now that he’s returned to this Dantesque Inferno, can he ever again leave?

Janissaries

Some days it just didn’t pay to be a soldier. Captain Rick Galloway and his men had been talked into volunteering for a dangerous mission only to be ruthlessly abandoned when faceless CIA higher ups pulled the plug on the operation. They were cut off in hostile territory, with local troops and their Cuban ‘advisors’ rapidly closing in. And then the alien spaceship landed…

Higher Education (With: )

When a misfired practical joke gets him kicked out of school, Rick Luban thinks he has nowhere to go but down. Instead, he gets a second chance and a whole new life when he signs up for a career in asteroid mining. But life in space proves more challenging than Rick expected. Competition is intense and the harsh realties of space allow no room for error. On his way to a brighter future, Rick faces ever more demanding tests, as well as the very real dangers of sabotage and murder.

The Man-Kzin Wars (By:Larry Niven)

Once upon a time, in the earliest days of interplanetary exploration, an unarmed human vessel was set upon by a warship from the planet Kzin. But the Kzinti learned the hard way that the reason humanity had given up war was that they were so very, very good at it. Thus began the Man Kzin Wars.

Man-Kzin Wars II (With: Larry Niven,S.M. Stirling)

The alien Kzinti had almost conquered the humans, but after the initial surprise, the humans fought back with a ferocity the Kzinti had never faced. But that was centuries ago, and the humiliation of lost battles has not faded. The Kzinti are back…

Stirling: As the war rages on between the mighty felinoid warriors from the planet Kzin and the wimpy leaf eating monkey boys from Earth, one Kzin commander has decided to learn from the monkeys and cooperate to conquer. But the humans know how to get the rivals of an enemy to cooperate, too. Cathouse by Dean Ing: In another corner of the galaxy, Carroll Locklear is stranded on a planet with a group of prehistoric Kzinti. To survive, he must find common cause, if not with the males, then with the females of that antiques species…

Man-Kzin Wars X: The Wunder War (By:Larry Niven)

The first colonists from Earth named the planet Wunderland. Generations later, the felinoid alien invaders called Kzin came and turned it into a hell for humans. Touched on in other accounts of the Man Kzin wars, here for the first time is the decades long saga of Wunderland: how the Wunderlanders first learned of the Kzin attacks on Earth by slower than light communications, barely in time to prepare to fight back. How the valiant human defenders turned to guerilla warfare in the Wunderland jungles and caves after the feline warrior race had destroyed or seized the cities. How, after the war ended in an ignominous defeat for the Kzin, some humans and Kzin worked for good will between the two species their work complicated by humans wanting revenge and Kzin who still saw humans as a somewhat annoying food source. And how a human Kzin team was sent to investigate a mysterious asteroid and found a threat not only to both species, but to the entire galaxy. The humans wanted to destroy it, but the Kzin wanted to exploit it, and the only hope was a Kzin telepath raised by humans from a cub. Which side would he choose, monkey or warcat?

Man-Kzin Wars XI (By:Matthew Harrington)

The Kzin were the mightiest warriors in the galaxy, which they were wasting no time in conquering, one star system at a time. Then those feline lords of creation ran into those ridiculous weed eating pacifistic apes who called themselves humans. And the catlike Kzin found they had their collective tail caught in a meat grinder. When the mighty Kzin moved in to take over the monkey infested worlds, they got clobbered. The humans, with their underhanded monkey cunning, turned communications equipment and space drives into weapons that cut the dauntless Kzin heroes into ribbons. And then those underhanded humans gained a faster than light drive, and no amount of screaming and leaping could keep the Kzin from losing their first war in centuries of successful conquest. But you can’t keep a good warcat down, and the Kzin have by no means given up. New weapons, new strategies, and new leaders. Here they come again and those monkey boys from Earth had better watch their backs. Once again, it’s howling time in Known Space!

Man-Kzin Wars XII (By:Larry Niven)

The kzin, formerly invincible conquerors of all they encountered, had a hard time dealing with their ignominious defeat by the leaf eating humans. Some secretly hatched schemes for a rematch, others concentrated on gathering power within the kzin hierarchy, and some shamefully cooperated with the contemptible humans, though often for hidden motives. In war and in uneasy peace, kzin and humans continue their adventures, as told by Hal Colebatch, Paul Chafe, and Michael Joseph Harrington, expanding on the concepts created by ‘New York Times’ best selling writer Larry Niven. A human secret agent and her hired kzin companion infiltrate a planet newly occupied by the kzin, and discover that humans were on the planet before the dawn of space travel, and claim to be part of the Roman Empire. Where did they come from and can they survive the inevitable kzin attack? A man wakes up with over a month’s gap in his memory. He remembers being hired by a mysterious woman for a job with the condition that his memory would be scrubbed afterward. Obviously, the scrub worked, but now the police suspect him of murdering the missing woman. And a kzin is threatening him with much worse than anything the police would do.

The Mote in God’s Eye

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. Together they have written the critically acclaimed bestsellers Inferno, Footfall, and The Legacy of Heorot, among others. The Mote in God’s Eye is their acknowledged masterpiece, an epic novel of mankind’s first encounter with alien life that transcends the genre.

The Gripping Hand / The Moat Around Murcheson’s Eye

Robert Heinlein called it ‘possibly the finest science fiction novel I have ever read.’ The San Francisco Chronicle declared that ‘as science fiction, The Mote in God’s Eye is one of the most important novels ever published.’ Now Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, award winning authors of such bestsellers as Footfall and The Legacy of Heorot, return us to the Mote, and to the universe of Kevin Renner and Horace Bury, of Rod Blaine and Sally Fowler. There, 25 years have passed since humanity quarantined the mysterious aliens known as Moties within the confines of their own solar system. They have spent a quarter century analyzing and agonizing over the deadly threat posed by the only aliens mankind has ever encountered a race divided into distinct biological forms, each serving a different function. Master, Mediator, Engineer. Warrior. Each supremely adapted to its task, yet doomed by millions of years of evolution to an inescapable fate. For the Moties must breed or die. And now the fragile wall separating them and the galaxy beyond is beginning to crumble.

Planet of the Apes (By:Pierre Boulle,Xan Fielding)

Before you see the movie, read the original novel!First published more than thirty five years ago, Pierre Boulle’s chilling novel launched one of the greatest science fiction sagas in motion picture history, from the classic 1968 movie starring Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowell, through four sequels and two television series…

In an ironic novel of nonstop action and breathless intrigue, one man struggles to unlock the secret of a terrifying civilization, all the while wondering: Will he become the savior of the human race, or the final witness to its damnation? In a shocking climax that rivals that of the original movie, Boulle delivers the answer in a masterpiece of adventure, satire, and suspense. From the Paperback edition.

The Battle of Sauron (With: Don Hawthorne,John F. Carr)

Some two decades ago, John F. Carr and Jerry Pournelle created the War World series. War World: The Battle of Sauron by John F. Carr and Don Hawthorne is the long awaited novel depicting the Battle of Sauron and the Sauron invasion of War World. The Battle of Sauron chronicles the final battle in the war between the Empire of Man and the Sauron Coalition of Seccession. This is the battle that will determine whether mankind is supplanted by the Saurons, a race dedicated to the military arts, or continues to reign triumphant over the disparate and far flung worlds of man. War World is a future warfare series created by John F. Carr and Jerry Pournelle inspired by the works of H. Beam Piper. The War World volumes include five original short story collections, two novels and are part of Pournelle’s CoDominium and Empire of Man Future History, spanning several thousand years. War World takes place on a barely habitable moon named Haven, or War World as it becomes known. Haven is a hard scrabble world of extreme temperatures, hard radiation, deadly flora and fauna, wastelands and breeds the toughest denizens in human occupied space. The New Harmonies had been the original owners and settlers of Haven until the CoDominium decided any place that inhospitable would make an excellent dumping ground for political exiles, troublesome minorities and garden variety criminals. During the Imperium, Haven became a prime recruiting ground for the Imperial Marines, but was one of the first worlds abandoned when the war against the Sauron dominated Coalition got ugly.
