Outies by J. R. Pournelle

This is the third book in the Moties series. It is written by Pournelle's daughter. It picks up the thread from early The Gripping Hand about New Utah. Interesting, but not really up to the other two. Still, I liked it and look forward to more novels by this Pournelle.

Alas, Pournelle passed away suddenly last year. However, the Moties books are an offshoot of his CoDominium future history, of which there are several volumes, including the WarWorld series. He was a frequent collaborator with Larry Niven, and up until his death they were working together on a sequel to Lucifer's Hammer, which was about a large meteor impact on Earth.
