Pournelle's hard science fiction writing received multiple awards. He wrote several novels with collaborators including Larry Niven.

@astralcomputing I should revisit this one. I read "Mote..." at a young age and remember very little of that hefty tome. At the time, it was the longest book I'd read. But, the things I do recall remain some of my favorite ideas gleaned from sci-fi.
