Lucifer's Hammer was my introduction to Niven way back in the 80s.
Thrilling read for a teenager.
Another favorite is Fred Saberhagen's Berserker series, starting with
Berserker in 1967. To this day I am convinced that the Berserkers were the
idea behind Star Trek's Borg. Berserker Fury (1997) was one of the last
in the series and was actually kind of dark/horrific in places.
Rendezvous with Rama is near the top of my list of best sci-fi books.
Loved this book and the cheesy RPG that was released in the '90s. I hear
talk of a movie from time to time but I don't see how 1.5 hours can do
Clarke's work any favors.
> You should also check out the book?s Larry co-authored with Jerry
Pournelle such as Lucifer?s hammer ? really good reading as well.
