Late entry, but one of the best hard sci-fi books I've ever read, about first contact that goes all pear shaped. A pretty quick read that should be a movie someday.

Yeah, I think it was a high school find for me also, but happened to come up recently.

Great book. 'And on the gripping hand..."

I believe that there's a sequel to this called The Gripping Hand.

Tried to explain that idea, once, in a meeting at work. Once. Still think that three-option choices, where one option is a meta-option 1/
ProfessorMatt
2/ that either renders the other two options void or renders the other two options as meaningless, is a valid way of looking at choices.

I've heard Lucifer's Hammer has been in development hell for 40 years.

As a game? Movie?
NottherealSlimPickens
Film.

Yeah, - game or movie?
NottherealSlimPickens
Film.

Thanks - bring it on. Lots of CGI I suspect.

Read it but wasn't memorable. Only recall the weird aliens... who turned out to be human offshoots. Rather see Ringworld.

I'm very sure you're misremembering the book, or confused.
dwolvin
Wrong book I think. These aliens are truly not human...
