(p. 57) #31 "If you can't reach your goals, your goals will
hurt you." Seems like a valid point. Less
disappointments, but it's good reaching for your goals in life I'd
say. Point is trying, but not pushing to hard

Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
"Lucifer's Hammer" by Niven and Pournelle is an astroid strike
disaster story which examines human behavior in extremis. Also
recommended is Niven's "Footfall", which is an alien invasion and
culture clash story.

the Niven _Known Space_ stories)
Comment by wesley2006
If Niven approached
the whole Ringworld business in less of a "hard SF" fashion &
focused more on fleshing out the plot & characters, I may have
looked more kindly at all the dry technical voodoo.
