Title: Truly a book to BORROW
Review: Niven has done the unforgivable with his latest Ringworldnovel. He has taken one of the most stunningly imaginative Sci-Fipremises ever created, and produced a truly unpleasant novel. If you are a Ringworld disciple, and feel you must read the latest edition, then for your enjoyments sake, borrow the book. Purchasing it will only taint your possible enjoyment with recurring bouts of "I paid for THIS?". Less than half of the book deals with old, favorite characters, and their story line is left unresolved and undeveloped. The other half deals with a disjointed story of vampires and machine people that is exceedingly boring and uninteresting. If you felt "Ringworld Engineers" was a shadow of the original, you will hear echoes of the words "contractual obligations" and "need to pay for new boat" when you read this one.
