		Set in the far future, The Legacy of Heorot follows a mixed expedition of ambitious geniuses as they establish the first extra-solar space colony on the newly discovered, Earth-type world of Avalon.
		A military man among scientists, Weyland is painfully aware of the innate separation that exists between himself and the rest of the idealistic, pacifistic colonists.

	SF Reviews The Dragons Of Heorot by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Steven Barnes
		Back on Heorot, years later, the colony has survived the super-fast alien "Grendels", and is has grown enough to experience political dissension on the future direction of the colony.
		The surviving original colonists, fighting their own personal battles with the brain damage they suffered from the suspended animation during the trip to the colony, and unable to forget the horrors of the original Grendel attacks, are much more cautious.
		Well this is Larry Niven et al, and it's the sequel to "The Legacy Of Heorot" so it had to be bought and read as soon as I found it.

	Amazon.com: Books: Beowulf's Children (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This sequel to the authors' bestselling The Legacy of Heorot (1987), in which "Earth Born" colonists vanquished an alien life-form known as the Grendels (hence the title here), starts slowly.
		The sequel to The Legacy of the Heorot, Beowulf's Children continues its predecessor's tradition of lively action and an extremely rich universe for it to interact in.
		However, whereas "Legacy of Heorot" was a fast-paced and horrifically engaging monster thriller, its sequel is a gentler, more meandering story that focuses primarily on the conflicts and ambitions of the human colonists of Avalon, with the Grendels and the other dangerous Avalonian lifeforms taking something of a back seat.

	Review of The Dragons of Heorot by Niven, Pournelle and Barnes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Sequel to The Legacy of Heorot, the second generation of colonists now want to expand onto the mainland, first studying the biology and ecology before moving over permanently.
		They find grendels that act cooperatively, and when two members of the colony get eaten to the bone by what looked like a cloud of dust (invisible grendels?) they find there are things just as dangerous as grendels that they know nothing about.
		There are various irritating inconsistencies in the early part of the book, just in style ('miles' after talking about 'kilometres'), and huge inaccuracies about autogyros (they hover in the book).

	Beowulf
		After surviving the near fatal debacle of the Grendal Wars in, The Legacy Of Heorot (not reviewed here), the original settlers of Tau Ceti Four must now contend with their grown children and their desires to start their own community off the safe haven of Avalon Island.
		In 'The Legacy of Heorot' we were introduced to the human colonists of Tau Ceti Four, and to the terrifying grendels, the extremely deadly indigenous predators.
		In this, the sequel to one of the best science fiction horror novels yet written, we revisit Camelot Island, the isolated home of the human colonists, where a new generation is insistent on claiming its legacy.

	Legacy of Heorot by Larry Niven Book Reviews
		And although some of his work with Pournelle has not been the greatest, "Legacy of Heorot" is a fast-paced and wrenching tale of man vs. nature that simply CANNOT be put down.
		It has been said that "Legacy of Heorot" is weak because it glorifies the destruction of the natural world.
		"Legacy of Heorot" is a naturalist's novel in the spirit of Jack London: wild, gorgeous frontier awaits the human adventure, with enticements and dangers aplenty.

		However, ‘Heorot’ is a very weak story with a predictable plot and shallow characters.
		Niven is obviously not a biologist because even a brain-dead, second year, Joe-Six-Pack, D minus, from Dung-Hole University, biology undergraduate student would have figured out the catch in the local ecology.
