Blending awe-inspiring science with non-stop action and fun, Ringworld's Children , the fourth installment of the multiple award-winning saga, is the perfect introduction for readers new to this New York Times bestselling series, and long-time fans of Larry Niven's Ringworld.

Home to trillions of inhabitants, not all of which are human, and host to amazing technological wonders, the Ringworld is unique in all of the universe. Explorer Louis Wu, an Earth-born human who was part of the first expedition to Ringworld, becomes enmeshed in interplanetary and interspecies intrigue as war, and a powerful new weapon, threaten to tear the Ringworld apart forever. Now, the future of Ringworld lies in the actions of its children: Tunesmith, the Ghould protector; Acolyte, the exiled son of Speaker-to-Animals, and Wembleth, a strange Ringworld native with a mysterious past. All must play a dangerous game in order to save Ringworld's population, and the stability of Ringworld itself.

This is the fourth book in the Ringworld Saga.
It has the massive, swashbuckling style of the first two books. Don't let "The Ringworld Throne" put you off.
I get the impression that this was going to be the last Ringworld book, but then the ending was re-engineered to allow for a fifth book.
Good job too..
