About the Book

Larry Niven teams up with fellow science fiction writer Edward M. Lerner to take a closer look at the events leading up to Niven's first Ringworld novel. Kirsten Quinn-Kovacs is among the best and brightest of her people. She gratefully serves the gentle race that rescued her ancestors from a dying starship and nurtures them still. If only the Citizens knew where Kirsten's people came from! A chain reaction of supernovae at the galaxy's core has unleashed a wave of lethal radiation that will sterilize the galaxy. The Citizens flee, taking with them their planets, the Fleet of Worlds. Someone must scout ahead, and Kirsten and her crew eagerly volunteer. Under the guiding eye of Nessus, their Citizen mentor, they set out to explore for any possible dangers in the Fleet's path--and uncover long-hidden truths that will shake the foundations of worlds.

About the Author :
Larry Niven is the New York Times bestselling and multiple Hugo, Locus, and Nebula Award-winning author of science fiction short stories and novels, including the Ringworld series and The Burning City, as well as many other science fiction masterpieces. Edward M. Lerner worked in high tech and aerospace for thirty years, as everything from engineer to senior vice president, for much of that time writing science fiction as his hobby. Since 2004 he has written full-time. His novels range from near-future technothrillers, like Small Miracles and Energized, to futuristic mysteries, like The Company Man, to such traditional SF-adventure fare as Dark Secret and his InterstellarNet series. Collaborating with Larry Niven, he also wrote the space-opera epic Fleet of Worlds series of Ringworld companion novels. His 2015 novel, InterstellarNet: Enigma, won the inaugural Canopus Award "honoring excellence in interstellar writing." His fiction has also been nominated for Locus, Prometheus, and Hugo awards. In shorter forms, his writing has appeared in anthologies, collections, and many science fiction magazines and websites. He also writes about science and technology, most notably including Trope ing the Light Fantastic: The Science behind the Fiction. Tom Weiner, a dialogue director and voice artist best known for his roles in video games and television shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Transformers, is the winner of eight Earphones Awards and is an Audie Award finalist. He is a former member of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Review :
"[A] fine...entry into the 'known space' canon...If you haven't read any Niven novels before this one, go listen to Protector and Ringworld first. Then, if you are as enchanted as I was with it, come back to Fleet of Worlds for more. Tom Weiner, who is one of Blackstone Audio's new narrators, previously heard in A Galaxy Trilogy, brings authority to the narrative of Fleet of Worlds." -- "SFFAudio.com" "A lively prequel to Niven's 1970 classic, Ringworld...Fans of hard SF will be well rewarded." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Exceptional freshness and suspense...full of startling revelations about human and puppeteer politics." -- "Booklist" "Intriguing human and alien characters and lucid scientific detail." -- "Library Journal" "Larry Niven lives up to his award-winning reputation in this enthralling saga sure to please science-fiction fans everywhere." -- "Midwest Book Review"
