Yet another post. I once uploaded a message that didn't take on the subject
of inspirational reading for Traveller games. What has anybody else read
that really makes them think about Traveller? There is a lot of excellent
SF that does not make me think about incorporating it into a Traveller game.
My favorites: Michael McCollum ANTARES DAWN and ANTARES PASSAGE
Lois McMaster Bujold: Everything she has written
Robert Heinlein: THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS
Poul Anderson: Most of his futur history series
(Falkayn and Van Rijn, Flandry)
Niven and Pournelle: THE MOTE IN GOD'S EYE
Pournelle: KING DAVID'S SPACESHIP
Before anyone jumps on me for my taste, remember, this is the list of books
that make me think about playing Traveller, not my all-time favorite SF.
