Lastly, The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle was another great sci-fi first contact book.

I'll see your Niven/Pournelle and raise you Iain M. Banks, who combines the space opera of those two authors with characters who have actual relationships, instead of adolescent fantasies.

Did you actually read this book, or is this yet another of your second hand critiques?

I've read nearly everything Niven has put into print. And I'm reading all the Banks I can get my hands on.
