Loading... Beowulf's Children (1995)by Larry Niven, Steven Barnes (Author), Jerry Pournelle (Author)
Not nearly as good as the first book in the series, this is still a good book. It continues to follow the colonists of Earth's first colony outside the solar system, as they struggle with the planet and politics. Now that they have survived the troubles from Legacy of Heorot, they still have problems with the planets 'unintelligent' species, plus their own unruly second generation. An excellent look at what troubles may come up when colonizing a fertile planet. Well written and with good characters. (  ) Karlstar | Jan 8, 2012 |  Not as good as the legacy, but interesting enough for a sequel. (  ) orderflow | Jun 13, 2011 | This is also called Beowulf's Children, and deals with what happens to a future generation on the planet Heorot. They have some knowledge of what goes on around the planet now, of course, but they still have to deal with it, and keep trying to forge ahead and create a civilisation. Not as interesting as the first book. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2007/01/dragons-of-heorot-larry-niven.html (  ) maketest | Aug 26, 2009 | This is the sequel to the former Legacy of Heorot novel, also called the Dragons of Heorot, I think, and unfortunately it is not as interesting. The older generation begin to have health problems from all that they have endured, so a serious generation gap develops between those born locally, and those not. So, the book mostly is about the difference in cultural attitudes between the two, and the new kids wanting to go their own way. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2007/08/beowulfs-children-larry-niven-and.html (  ) maketest | Aug 26, 2009 | This is the sequel to the former Legacy of Heorot novel, also called the Dragons of Heorot, I think, and unfortunately it is not as interesting.
