The Janissaries series of military and political-based science fiction novels are set in an interstellar confederation of races, in which humans are a slave race entrusted with military affairs and law enforcement.

BOOK 1

Reluctantly volunteering for a dangerous mission, Captain Rick Galloway and his men are cut off in hostile territory when the CIA pulls out their support, an event that is further complicated when an alien spaceship arrives.

BOOK 2

For the first few years, Rick Galloway and his band of mercenaries were doing well just to survive. They’d been swept off a hilltop in Africa by a flying saucer and deposited on an alien world where the other inhabitants were human – – but from various and unfriendly periods of history, all collected by flying saucer raids. Rick has faced facts: this place is going to be home, permanently. To create a safe society for themselves and the families they are gradually building, they need to do more than just survive; they must convince the others that a unified, peaceful society is better than a collection of warring tribes. Force would not be Rick’s chosen method of persuasion, but on a planet where the other dominant culture is one brought straight from ancient Rome, force may be the only way.

BOOK 3

Kidnapped from Earth as they were about to die in battle, Rick Galloway and his band of mercenaries, like the other human slaves on the planet Tran, will not be missed. Subjects of the Shalnuksi slave masters, they are forced to harvest the priceless drug surinomaz. Now, even as slaves, Earth’s transplanted warriors are locked in battle against each other. But an epoch is ending. As the Demon Star sweeps toward its devastating apex, the slave masters flee the planet to await its annihilation in safety. Soon all life on the planet will cease, leaving it ripe for repopulation.

FOOTFALL #1 New York Times Bestseller

“IT’S NO JOKE, ALIEN ELEPHANTS ARE A SCI-FI HIT”

Just as the movie industry annually releases summer blockbuster films, the publishing industry has its own version of summertime madness.

And science-fiction fans this year are being offered a blockbuster called Footfall — a tale of an alien invasion authored by veteran science-fiction authors Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.

What makes this alien invasion unique is that the monsters are portrayed as looking like baby elephants.

Why elephants, as opposed to the usual bug-eyed monster?

“Niven can make an alien as dangerous as you like, and without putting fangs on him,” said Pournelle. And Niven did just that, with the aliens — called the “Fithp” — nearly conquering the Earth.

This is the fifth time Niven and Pournelle, who live just 8 miles from each other in Los Angeles, have collaborated on a science-fiction novel. The other four books, including A Mote in God’s Eye and Lucifer’s Hammer, were all best sellers.

REVIEW

Yep, still a five star read for me. It’s everything a post-apocalyptic book should be, including very realistic. I’ve been reading this book for 25 years and I’ve probably read it 20 times and I’ll read it 20 more. “We control the lightning!”

Oath of Fealty(1981)              Hardcover  Paperback  Kindle

In the near future, Los Angeles is an all but uninhabitable war zone, racked by crime, violence, pollution and poverty. But above the blighted city, a Utopia has arisen: Todos Santos, a thousand-foot high single-structured city, designed to used state-of-the-art technology to create a completely human-friendly environment, offering its dwellers everything they could want in exchange for their oath of allegiance and their constant surveillance . But there are those who want to see the utopia destroyed, whose answer to tomorrow’s best and brightest hope is mindless violence. And they have just entered Todos Santos. . . .

STARBORN + GODSONS –” a 5 STAR READ” and “a PAGE TURNER”

THE LONG-AWAITED CONCLUSION OF THE HEOROT SERIES FROM GENRE LEGENDS LARRY NIVEN, JERRY POURNELLE, AND STEVEN BARNES
Avalon was thriving. The cold sleep colonists from Earth had settled on a verdant, livable world. The fast and cunning predators humans named grendels were under control, and the mainland outposts well established. Avalon’s new mainland hydroelectric power station was nearly complete, and when on-line would compensate for the nuclear power systems lost in the Grendel Wars. Humans would have power, and with power came the ability to make all the necessities for life. They would survive. They would not survive as a spacefaring people. What they were losing faster than they knew was the ability to get to space. But unbeknownst to the planet-bound humans, something was moving out there in the stars, decelerating at a rate impossible for a natural object. And its destination was Avalon. The most probable origin was Earth’s Solar System. This is a novel of first contact—between the human Starborn and the self-named Godsons who followed on, between the first generation of Avalon born humans and their descendants, and between humans and the almost ineffably alien species native to their new world . . . .
