Title: Ringworld Throne = one trip too many to the well
Review: Larry Niven's third Ringworld book reads like something hewrote in response to pressure from his publishers. Nothing muchhappens in the first half of the novel, with the main characters from the previous two Ringworld novels appearing briefly, if at all.Things start happening in the second half, but by then it's too late, and the results seems to have been rushed -- especially the ending, which I had to re-read a few times to figure out what happened (or more precisely, what didn't happen).This novel should have undergone a major rewrite before publication, eliminating most of the first half and expanding on the second. As it stands, it's a major disappointment which adds little to the mythos of Known Space.
