Talk:Mirabile (novel)

Entire plot harvested from Niven?
It's a bundle of short stories for a magazine (=quick editorial turnover) and they started appearing two years after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legacy_of_Heorot by Niven/Pournelle/Barnes.

Every essential plotpoint appears taken from that book: Colonizing far-off planet? Check. Essential information lost during the long transit? Check. Conflict with local dangerous creature? Check. Eradicating said danger unmasking a greater peril (local danger was only predator of juveniles of the greater peril)? Check. [Humans are badly beaten but prevail in the end? Check.] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.18.215.73 (talk) 10:07, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
