The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle Doug Tisdale Jr
"In the year 3016, the Second Empire of Man spans hundreds of star systems, thanks to the faster-than-light Alderson Drive.
No other intelligent beings have ever been encountered, not until a light sail probe enters a human system carrying a dead alien.
The probe is traced to the Mote, an isolated star in a thick dust cloud, and an expedition is dispatched.
In the Mote the humans find an ancient civilization--at least one million years old--that has always been bottled up in their cloistered solar system for lack of a star drive.
The Moties are welcoming and kind, yet rather evasive about certain aspects of their society.
It seems the Moties have a dark problem, one they've been unable to solve in over a million years.".....................................................................................BlockBusterHealth.com is already offering Americans these savings RIGHT NOW.
