Starswarm - Softcover
Kip has never known any life but his existence at the protected laboratory compound known as Starswarm Station. And for all that time he has heard the Voice: an artificial intelligence chip implanted in his skull. It guides him and helps protect him from the planet's many dangers, including roaming bands of hostile centaurs and "haters." But the startling discovery of who put the chip in his head - and why - leads Kip to revelations that could threaten the safety of the entire compound.
Luckily, he has friends Marty and Lara to help. But are three kids enough to save an entire planet?

From the Publisher:
"This is one you won't want to miss no matter how old you are....Pournelle doesn't pull any punches in this taut, credible, fast-paced adventure story that capitalizes on the strong storytelling potential that is missing from so much modern SF." --Science Fiction Chronicle
From the Inside Flap:
"In a rare solo writing effort, Pournelle has done an excellent job of following the Heinlein tradition." --The Denver Post

Starswarm is a Star
Reviewer: A 12-year-old reader from New York, NY USA
"Starswarm is one of my favorite books. It is the story of a boy with a computer chip implanted in his head. The chip keeps him company and helps him with homework. But as he gets older and finds out new things about the chip and who put it there, he is caught in a thrilling adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat."
"Starswarm is a dynamic coming-of-age tale, and not only is the characterization of Kip fully realized, but the emotional resonance between Kip and his friends rings true." -SF Site
"Starswarm is a blast, and it has the same kind of heart and adventure that made Star Wars so appealing." -The Flint Journal
