Product Description
Ringworld: the most stunning artifact in known space, an articficial world with three million times Earth's surface area. Who built it? And where are they?

Thinking as well as a man but different,

This review is from: Ringworld Engineers (Mass Market Paperback)
Niven stages John Campbell's definition of 'the alien' against a humungous big backdrop. Niven minored in Psych, and in college his genteel nerves got him in the nut hatch.Are Protectors Hans Eysenck's Psychopaths with thicker skins and big brains? I got the RE serial in Galileo magazine twent years ago, and loved it.

Another solid Niven novel,

This review is from: Ringworld Engineers (Mass Market Paperback)
This is money well spent. I enjoyed this novel and spent nearly a whole night reading it in one sitting. I will never tire of Larry Niven when he sticks to Known Space, the best of his fiction areas. I like the Pupperteers, the Kzin, and Pac. Larry delivers a nearly perfect end to the Ringworld series. I have had personal conversations with him back in 1983 and he never intended to make more Known Space books. Note, you should read this novel before reading "Ringworld's Children", due out in Summer of 2004. Enjoy it, I did!

A good solid sequel,
By Bradford Hull (Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ringworld Engineers (Mass Market Paperback)
If you enjoyed the original Ringworld, then Ringworld Engineers will be worth your time.Twenty years after the first Novel, Louis Wu goes back to find the Ringworld's orbit has degenerated and will collide with its parent star in a matter of a few years. He decides to save Ringworld no matter the cost. Although not quite as enthralling as the first installment, the book is worth the effort as Niven reveals who built the Ringworld and some more information on some of its intricacies. A good read and highly recommended.
