A couple of books which might fit your requirements:

The Mote in God's Eye -- Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle -- Human space empire in first alien contact. There's a sequel called The Gripping Hand, but I can't recommend it because I haven't read it yet.


I've read The Gripping Hand It was every bit as good as The Mote in God's Eye. Then again, a loved every collaboration thats been written by Larry & Jerry!
