Ringworld's Children The
Ringworld is a landmark engineering achievement, a flat band
three million times the surface area of Earth, encircling a
distant star. Home to trillions of inhabitants, not all of
whom 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
threaten to tear the Ringworld apart forever. Now, the
future of Ringworld lies in the actions of its children. All
must play a dangerous game in order to save Ringworld's
population and the stability of Ringworld
itself.
Fleet of Worlds
It is two
hundred years before the discovery of the Ringworld.
Humanity has been faithfully serving the Citizens for years,
and Kirsten Quinn-Kovacks is among the best and the
brightest of the humans. She gratefully serves the race that
rescued her ancestors from a dying starship, gave them a
home world, and nurtures them still. When a chain reaction
of supernovae at the galaxy's core unleashes a wave of
lethal radiation that will sterilize the galaxy, the
Citizens flee, taking their planets, the Fleet of Worlds,
with them. Someone must scout ahead, and Kirsten and her
crew eagerly volunteer. Under the guiding eye of Nessus,
their Citizen mentor, they explore for any possible dangers
in the Fleet's path--and uncover long-hidden truths that
will shake the foundations of worlds.
