The Gripping Hand
''The Gripping Hand'' is a 1993 novel by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. It is a sequel to their multi-award-nominated 1974 work ''The Mote in God's Eye''. ''The Gripping Hand'' is, chronologically, the last novel to be set in the CoDominium universe (though in 2010, Pournelle's daughter released an authorized sequel). In the United Kingdom, it was released as ''The Moat around Murcheson's Eye'' (sometimes misspelled "The Mote around Murchison's Eye").
''The Gripping Hand'' is set in the year 3042 (twenty-five years after the events of ''The Mote in God's Eye'') and revolves primarily around two minor characters of the first book, Captain Sir Kevin Renner (ISN, Reserve) and His Excellency Horace Bury, Imperial Trader Magnate. It also resolves many of the conflicts and tension remaining from the preceding novel, but much of the plot cannot be understood without reading ''The Mote in God's Eye''. A crucial plot element of the book is the idiom "on the gripping hand", a three-armed variation of the idiom "on the other hand" similar in meaning to "on the third hand", but with the added sense that the third-mentioned consideration is the most important one. The saying is native to the alien Moties, who have three arms, one of which is stronger but possesses less finesse. The idiom has also gained some use among fans of the book.〔(Jargon File entry for "On the gripping hand" )〕
