A review by nakedsteve
The Burning City by Jerry Pournelle, Larry Niven

3.0

The story of Whandall Placehold, and how he grows up and becomes successful.

It's another one of those "life journey" novels that I seem to accidentally start reading. It takes a while to get going, and never really gets me too excited. I expect a lot more interesting things from the Niven/Pournelle combo, but this book didn't do it for me.
