Book and author name help

[Nadja]

All I can remember is newly colonized planet (I think). There were nasty predators that they wiped out, only to find out a few seasons later that they were needed to control an even nastier threat.
I'd love to read it again if I could remember the name and/or author.
Thanks for any help.

This could be The Legacy of Heorot by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Steve Barnes

I think you could be right. Either way I'm going to read this!! Lol Thanks
