  • Ringworld returns to get better.

    Larry Niven continues to hold my interest and elevate my involvement is all of his known space series. This is an in grossing book, hard to put down. You just can't stop turning pages waiting to find out the next events. Spell binding. great characters and impressive background development. I really felt I was there on that new planet with all the colonists and experienced each of the events with them.
