I've never read Pournelle, but I'm extremely surprised to see Niven mentioned along with all of the really poor writers mentioned in this thread. (Though he is guilty a few times of not finding a good story to go with his wonderful scientific idea he wants to explore, but thats the exception.*) I won't argue with you, but I just was really caught off guard to see Niven anywhere around here.
* Some of my other favorite authors are guilty of putting out some real crap to go along with their great works. (Moorcock for example has great, classic stories and some that are just total dreck.)
