Condition: Fair. This book is a prequel to the Ringworld series, which is considered a classic of the science fiction genre. Two hundred years before the discovery of Ringworld The newly liberated humans of the Fleet of Worlds now face a new threat besides the sly Puppeteers: the Pak, a very smart and utterly ruthless species who are fleeing the exploding galactic core in an armada of ships at near light speed. The Pak are headed toward the Fleet of Worlds, having destroyed entire planets in their wake. Sigmund Ausfaller, who had been transported by the Puppeteers from Earth to the Fleet, is now sent with his human allies to reconnoiter and divert the Pak.

Then, a few months later, aliens in a gigantic starship made contact with Earth and Kyle was in good favour again, selected to interface with the aliens. They said that they represented a vast federation of intelligent races and they hoped that Earth would prove eligible to join. But there were a few false notes in the utopian front the aliens presented. There were the small art objects the aliens handed out as tokens of friendship, but which turned out to be listening devices. Also, surveillance and other satellites were disappearing in a way that seemed designed to foment American-Russian suspicion. For all their talk of peaceful intentions, Kyle suspected that they were trying to get the Earth to wipe itself out - but why? Kyle would find an ally among the aliens, but one who was regarded as a freak by her own kind, and lacked influence. He had to find a way out of the crisis before either the world exploded in nuclear flames, or the aliens lost patience and decided to do the job themselves.…
