The Legacy of Heorot

But that was a collaboration with Barnes and Niven... And Niven could write a great story!

Niven is a right wing nut as well (Global warming denier and all that) but at least his politics didn't seem to overwhelm his earlier writing (His earlier works like Ringworld were great) - but he did collaborate with Pournelle in the 90's on 'Fallen Angels', an attack on environmentalists.

        Also, he was- if not working with Robert Jastrow- certainly allying himself with him... - RL - 9/14/2017 3:34:37 AM
