Title: Not the best Ringworld book
Review: Not up to classic Niven. If you desperately need a fix of Ringworld, well, maybe, but my suggestion would be to go back and re-read the original. This one does have some neat stuff, but it (minor spoiler) does invalidate some of the moral dilemma of the previous Ringworld book, and for the most part doesn't add any interesting ideas.Definitely this is NOT the book to start with-- this is a minor Niven book, for hard-core Niven fans only! If you haven't already read Ringworld, you have a major treat in store-- don't start here, but immediately go buy a copy of Ringworld and read it.
