I now have a Kindle and I am adding these two stories in as part of my permanent collection because they are stories I remember from time to time as vivid reminders that when in the wild, always keep your wits about you, protect what you love and be observant of the local flora and fauna.

The Legacy of Heorot (Heorot #1) by Larry Niven
Perhaps it is the nostalgia speaking it can be a mighty powerful emotionbut this is one for the ages. Grendel with great science behind the plot.
People travel to a faraway place and face dangerous circumstances, and barely pull through, and learn lessons, and grow stronger. For me the Grendel is the perfect predator however flawed it is – and to me reminds me a lot of the other more famous alien predators of lgeacy fiction, perfectly kegacy to the environment it lives in, exploiting its advantage once humans blunder in to its domain.
