Ade,<br><br>Funny, I don't remember the bug-out kit on Deceiver... I'm trying to locate my copy (don't laugh, there are a LOT of books here, and it may be 20 years since I read it). Any clue as to where it is in the book?<br><br>I enjoy Niven and Pournelle, but LH is still my favorite of their collaborations, with "Legacy of Herot" a close second. After that, maybe "Oath of Fealty"? Not sure.<br><br>I special-ordered "Wolf and Iron" from a used book source, but I'm sorry to have to say that I didn't really enjoy it much. Perhaps I just caught it at the wrong time or in the wrong mood- it happens- but there didn't seem to be much real plot, just aimless rambling, and a pretty continual abandonment of goals along the way.. and it was long for the apparent plot. Parts of it I found reminiscent of Heinlein's much-shorter story "Coventry".<br><br>"Some Will Not Die" by Algis Budrys is also a favorite, and getting harder to find. To my surprise, I found a copy on-line, but I'm not sure I'm supposed to be accessing it... the word "subscriber" occurs in the URL...
