Furthermore, it answers a lot of questions that have been tantalizing his readers for a long time. Most highly recommended!Paul AndersonWhen I finished The Ringworld Engineers, I cleared my calendar for a week, sat down, and reread every word of the Known Space cycle from scratch, then reread The Ringworld Engineers. It was worth the effort, and left me staggered by the breadth and scope of Larrys vision. . . . If you count yourself as a true friend of Larry Niven, race right out and get this one.Analog Science Fiction MagazineAnother fine masterpiece from the master of science fiction . . . The coming conquest of space has always been a central myth of science fiction, and Larry Nivens future worlds have made the most of it.
