Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

In the 1970s she was perhaps the most memorable, and one of the most popular, short story writers. Her real life was as fantastic as her fiction.

Jerry Pournelle
I don't read much science fiction.. is this good? On his own, he writes great future war shoot-em-up Patton-like stuff. He often teams up with Niven, who's great a world creation (which is Pournelle's weak area). They did "Mote in God's Eye" and other great stuff.
