Escape from Hell: Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle

Long-awaited and eagerly anticipated,a sequel to one of my favorite books of all time,  but disappointing.

Confusing structure with opening scene running in parallel with a forward running flashback, I don’t see why they didn’t just start with one story or the other.

Doesn’t have the same magic as the original Niven & Pournelle INFERNO, and not nearly as good as the recent Niven/Lerner collaborations about the Puppeteers.

Nevertheless – a collector’s item that will go on my shelf in a protective cover.
