Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
In Ringworld and Ringworld Engineers Larry Niven created Known Space, a universe in the distant future with a distinctive and complicated history. The centre of this universe is Ringworld, an expansive hoop-shaped relic 1 million miles across and 600 million miles in circumference that is home to some 30 trillion diverse inhabitants. As in his past novels, Niven's characters in The Ringworld Throne spend their time unravelling the complex problems posed by their society.

Kurzbeschreibung
A new place is being built, a world of huge dimensions, encompassing millions of miles, stronger than any planet before it. There is gravity, and with high walls and its proximity to the sun, a livable new planet that is three million times the area of the Earth can be formed. We can start again!

Mir hat das Buch gefallen, ich fand es spannend und auch teilweise zum Schmunzeln, wenn schräge Situationen entstehen, die aus den ungewohnten Eigenheiten der Alien-Charaktere entstehen. Die Schilderungen der Ringwelt und der unklaren Motivationen der Puppeteer-Rasse erzeugen bei mir ungläubiges Staunen.
Das Lesen hat sich gelohnt, ich freu mich sls nächstes den zweiten Teil der Ringwelt-Reihe "The Ringworld Engineers" zu lesen.

"RingWorld" is so well-knowen that I feel kinda stupid for writing about it - but for those who have'nt read it thus far (and there for cannot call themselves true sci-fi readers):
the protagonist is Louis Wu - a 200 years old human , whom a Peirson's-Puppeteer kidnapp's together with speaker-to-animals - a Kzinty ambassedor , in order to investigate Ringworld - an immense structure , a partial Dyson sphere , a ring around a sun , built by an unknowen race of frightening power. The Puppeteers must have more information. The builders might be dangerous.
The puppeteer , Louis and speaker travel to Ringworld , "land" upon it and go through many adventures in order to mend their spaceship (yes it's hurt , eventhough it's a general-products hull).
This book is among the most praised science fiction books in the world , like "Dune" or the original "Foundation" trilogy , and rightfully so ; I promise you one of the most memorable protagonists you have read about , and ofcourse , no side-kick is equel to speaker-to-animals. The plot is excellent , the science is superb if you let the few points that make this a science-FICTION work pass with a smile instead with a grunt. Besides , not everyone will understand enough to recognize a scientific immposibility , and therefore , the science is also great.
Since we are talking about Niven , you know the writing itself is excellent , filled with interesting ideas , facsinating races and cool weapons , in such good use that I can't put it to words - the book is just too great - read it.
"RingWorld" is a masterpiece by one of the best hard-style sci-fi writers , and is equeled by few indeed.
VERY RECOMMENDED.

This book was my first introduction to Larry Niven's Known Spac series. While I conceed that Ringworld is incredibly imaginative, the book does lack characterization and forward plot movement. It was not a fast read and I didn't understand enough of the geography of the setting. I often found myself wishing Ringworld was a visual experience rather than literary. I would have given up on Known Space if I didn't happen to pick up Neutron Star at a used bookstore. I don't think Ringworld is a proper introduction to Known Space - its too confusing. I give it four stars because while weak on its own, it nicely complements the other novels in the Known Space series which is the most imaginative, well-contructed and original universe in science-fiction. I love Known Space, its utterly fascinating! Too bad the number of Known Space books got so large that the framework became too unwieldly for Niven to work with. I also wanted to comment on the several references to Frank Herbert on this forum. While I love Dune, I think any Frank Herbert comparisons are unfair. After, all Niven's a hard science-fiction writer, he doesn't even belong to the same school as Herbert. His books have their own vitality. Also, I didn't find the sexual content to be gratuitous - there are no graphic descriptions. The sex is strictly PG-13.

Great concept but lousy writing...
I was quite eager to read this book, especially after reading the very positive reviews. While the Idea of a Ringworld is intriguing - the realization of the concept is a big... Lesen Sie weiter...

Ein Ring sie zu binden und zu faszinieren

A Good Hard SF Adventure
The mainpoint of interest in the novel is the world itself, Ringworld. The Ringworld is what makes it interesting. The characters are strong static, flat, characters. Lesen Sie weiter...

Best Book
This was an excellent book. Anyone that enjoys Sci-Fi at all should read this, and the rest of the trilogy. It's an entrancing story, one of the best books I've ever read.

A Classic Series
A true classic! Although it has some mature themes, it's a great book for young teens. Adventure, science, moral dillemas, seven foot tall sentient tigers... it's got it all. Lesen Sie weiter...

Not Worth Reading
The concept of the "Ringworld" in this book is really awesome. It's really too bad that better characters and plot couldn't be added to make this book good. Lesen Sie weiter...
