   Through a serious sky, gray like a very grumpy man, he flew the angular spaceship seriously, like a seriously angry guy with a plan.

     @futurebird And even more so, an angry guy with a plane.

     @futurebird I'd have thought a Sirius sky would have been as hot as the dog days of summer.

     @futurebird Couldn't have said it better.
     I liked Larry Niven stories (40+ years ago) but didn't care about how well written they were.

     @Jestbill @futurebird I suspect a lot of books would have been better if produced in collaboration with someone who was good at writing though perhaps lacking knowledge of certain subject matter. Too many books, especially sci-fi, have a compelling setting and story but are irritating to read due to clumsy writing.
