Review:

[Larry Niven is] the paradigm SF personality of the last several decades. (Gregory Benford)

An offbeat story of power politics, with a dozen likeable heroes and nasty villains from absurdly alien, yet weirdly familiar creatures, THE RINGWORLD THRONE is a traditional space opera that races toward its breathless climax at relativistic speed. (STARBURST)

As ever, the science is impeccable, the lifeforms ingenious. (TIME OUT)

From the Back Cover:

In the twenty-ninth century, Louis Wu, a 200-years-young adventurer, became one of the first humans from Known Space to set foot on the Ringworld, and his exploits there became legends among many of the native races. During Louis Wu's second sojourn on the Ringworld, he was able to save it from total destruction... but several hundred million people died anyway, and that was a mighty weight on one man's conscience. But odd events on the Ringworld would require Louis Wu's attention once again: Vampires were gathering in untold numbers; Protectors, immensely powerful beings dedicated to safeguarding their own bloodlines above all else, were interfering with species not their own and with each other. If the Ringworld was to remain intact, it was going to need one central Protector of its own. But who would sit on the Ringworld Throne?...
