The Mote in God's Eye

Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle · 560 pages

Science fiction classic about the rise, fall and subsequent rise of a civilization where the peak catastrophe is known as the "crazy eddy point". Introduces the concept of frictionless toilets that don't have any water in them but I suspect the authors didn't think it all the way through - I don't recall a negative air pressure that would keep odours in their rightfull place. Nevertheless a fascin

Insurrection

David Weber, Steve White · 416 pages

a corrupt central Terran federation, space battles galore, and a tiny ferocious admiral leading a fight for independence from the Federation. This is not the Harrington universe but Weber uses many of the same themes. A decent but somewhat darker read as it is probably more realistic.
