Synopsis
[Library Edition Audiobook CD in sturdy Vinyl case.]
[Read by Tom Weiner]
Leaving Earth, the crew of the spaceship Discipline were prepared for a routine assignment. Dispatched by the all-powerful State on a mission of interstellar exploration and colonization, Discipline was aided - and secretly spied upon - by Sharls Davis Kendy, an emotionless computer intelligence programmed to monitor the loyalty and obedience of the crew. What they weren't prepared for, however, was the smoke ring - an immense, gaseous envelope that had formed around a neutron star directly in their path. The Smoke Ring was home to a variety of plant and animal life-forms evolved to thrive in conditions of continual free fall. When Discipline encountered it, something went wrong. The crew abandoned ship and fled to the unlikely space oasis.
Five hundred years later, the descendants of the Discipline crew living on the Smoke Ring no longer remember their origins. Earth is more myth than memory, and no recollection of the State remains. But Kendy remembers. And just outside the Smoke Ring, Discipline waits patiently to make contact with its wayward children.

Originally serialised in 4 parts in Analog Science Fiction / Science Fact - October, November, December 1983 & January 1984:- Synopsis: For five centuries they had survived, descendants of the mutinous crew of the starship Discipline. The Earth, the State, even the Discipline were legend at best. The Smoke Ring was all they knew: an immense gaseous envelope formed around a neutron star and inhabited by free-fall life-forms, most of which were edible and all of which could fly. This was their Universe. But slowly, they began the long climb from barbarism: and somewhere, beyond the Smoke Ring, the Discipline and its cyborg 'adviser' neared the end of its 500-year wait:- Review(s): "The best work yet by one of the best in our business, 'The Integral Trees' is the most imaginative work I've seen in the last five years" - Jerry Pournelle / "Niven is a master of the odd surrounding and the strange alien. For pure escape science fiction, fast and furious, 'The Integral Trees' is practically ideal" - Locus:- (original cost £1.95). Seller Inventory # 18.003.00189
