Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Niven, winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula awards, and Lerner (Probe) offer a lively prequel to Niven's 1970 classic, Ringworld. It's 2650, some 500 years after the human colony ship Long Pass was captured by Citizens, those paranoid, two-headed beings better known as Puppeteers from the Fleet of Worlds. The Citizens of the Concordance have bred and nurtured successive generations of human Colonists from the Long Pass's crew and embryo banks, while lying about their origins, telling stories about an abandoned colony ship adrift in space. When a team of Colonist explorers led by Citizen Nessus to study intelligent life on an ice-covered world also uncovers evidence that the Concordance has lied about the past, they're determined to find the truth. Meanwhile, Concordance Citizens learn that the ruling Conservative policymakers have mishandled secret contacts with Earth and endangered the Fleet. Fans of hard SF will be well rewarded. (Sept.)

From Booklist

Niven's latest foray into Known Space, his favorite imaginary universe, revisits the domain of the puppeteers, the perpetually nervous, two-headed extraterrestrials featured in his Ringworld series. In this collaboration with the author of Moonstruck (2005), Niven steps back a few centuries before Ringworld's discovery to witness the puppeteers' flight from a lethal explosion at the galactic core. To safeguard his species' fleet of migrating worlds from hostile forces, a veteran puppeteer starship pilot enlists an unlikely trio of human scientists for scouting missions ahead of the fleet's path. Raised from embryos apparently discovered on a derelict starship, the humans have known only servitude and a limited culture carefully tailored by their alien hosts. Yet a chance discovery on one of their space treks slices through a web of puppeteer lies and provokes rebellion when the humans learn their true home may be waiting for them on Earth. Lerner may be responsible for the exceptional freshness and suspense of this further chapter of Known Space lore, full of startling revelations about human and puppeteer politics.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Not quite what I expected, D�c 4 2009

Par	Andrew Daviel (Vancouver, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Fleet of Worlds (Mass Market Paperback)

Still a must-buy for Niven collectors, but not quite what I expected. These collaborations are filling-in the Known Space universe rather than breaking new ground as Niven does with each original Ringworld novel, and sometimes doing things with the characters that don't quite ring true.
Fleet of Worlds explores a somewhat unpleasant side of the Puppeteers. In Niven's solo novels the Puppeteers, while alien, are generally benevolent to their human colleagues. The only hint of a break with the pacifist, ultra-cautious stance is a comment on their breeding practices. In Fleet they are revealed as systematically ruthless in their quest to remain safe at all costs.
