The
Ringworld is a landmark engineering achievement, a flat
band 3-million-times the surface area of Earth,
encircling a distant star. Home to trillions of
inhabitants, not all of which are human, and host to
amazing technological wonders, the Ringworld is unique
in all of the universe.
Explorer Louis Wu, an Earth-born human who was part
of the first expedition to Ringworld, becomes enmeshed
in interplanetary and interspecies intrigue as war, and
a powerful new weapon, threatens to tear the Ringworld
apart forever. Now, the future of Ringworld lies in the
actions of its children: Tunesmith, the Ghould
protector; Acolyte, the exiled son of
Speaker-to-Animals, and Wembleth, a strange Ringworld
native with a mysterious past. All must play a dangerous
role in order to save Ringworld's population, and the
stability of Ringworld itself.
Blending awe-inspiring science with non-stop action
and fun, Ringworld's Children, the fourth
installment of the multiple-award-winning saga, is the
perfect introduction for readers new to this New York
Times best-selling series and for long-time fans of
Larry Niven's Ringworld.
