SynopsisWinner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards for best novel Four travelers come to the ringworld. . . Louis Wu: human and old; bored with having lived too fully for far too many years. Seeking a challenge, and all too capable of handling it. Nessus: a trembling coward, a puppeteer with a built-in survival pattern of nonviolence. Except that this particular puppeteer is insane. Teela Brown: human; a wide-eyed youngster with no allegiances, no experience, no abilities. And all the luck in the world. Speaker-To-Animals: kzin; large, orange-furred, and carnivorous. And one of the most savage life-forms known in the galaxy. Why did these disparate individuals come together? How could they possibly function together? And where, in the name of anything sane, were they headed?

  • Not as good as my memory of it

    I loved RINGWORLD the first time I read it, shortly after it was released decades ago. In the interim, either my tastes have changed, or I have gotten more sophisticated -- probably both. Anyway, Niven does a pretty good job on this but all puzzles are not solved and many questions are not answered. Still, it's a decent adventure-type romp, and students of the field really ought to read it at least once.

    This is a groundbreaking SF novel. It should be part of every SiFi fan’s repertoire.
