Beowulf's Children (Heorot, #2)Beowulf's Children by Larry Niven
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For what should be a fairly interesting multi-generational survival adventure on an alien world, with changing social structures and the need to shoot REALLY fast to take down the extremely dangerous locals, I was kinda saddened to see a LOT of the page-space devoted to some rather cringe-worthy sex and social mores that aren't really... right for today. :)

It was pretty okay, otherwise. The world and the beasties and everything else was interesting and not at all dated.
