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.… (mehr)

I can't really say that I loved this book, the way I loved The Mote in God's Eye, but the second half kept me turning pages and in many ways the storytelling is quite inventive (i.e., we return to the Mote but what we find when we get there isn't at all what our first visit might have led us to expect). It also makes an effort to avoid and in one case actually undo some of the dated colonial cringeyness of the beloved first novel of Mote, ( )

The Gripping Hand had a long setup that took up more than half the book. It has a lot of characters and deep undercurrents. This part of the book was not easy to read. Then people start reaching the Mote system and the book takes off like a rocket. The more you read the harder it is to put down and the more all that stuff before comes back into your head. Until the last few pages you are not sure who lives or dies. In the end, who really won? ( )

if I had not read the first novel, "The Mote In God's Eye", I would not have finished this one. Good ending but uninteresting beginning. I like "Mote" better. ( )

A 25-year-old blockade of an alien star system is suddenly obsolete.

2/4 (Indifferent).

There's some suspense, and interesting space-battle tactics. But it's extremely badly-written. For instance, the dialog is regularly incomprehensible, in a way that could have easily been fixed with a little formatting. Did they even have an editor? But even without the problems, it was never going to be a good book; it has no reason for existing except that the first book was popular. ( )

The first book in the series, The Mote in God's Eye, was excellent so was looking forward to reading this. But alas I didn't.

The story concerns the Moties, the alien race discovered in the first book, and blocked into their star system have escaped. Some of the characters were the same as the previous book, but with a number of new ones. They were difficult to engage with, and there seem to be a lot of them, so it was never easy to work out what was going on.

part of it were good, the space battle for example, but it is such a shame given how good the other one was. ( )
