His Falkenberg's Legion stories and Janissaries series helped define the military SF genre, his CoDominium universe is an SF standard for worldbuilding and future history, and his novels with frequent collaborator Larry Niven are some of the most important works science fiction has ever seen--and the best-selling and most read. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, for the first time, Pournelle's best short work is collected together in a single volume.
