Publisher Description

Winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Novel, RINGWORLD remains a favorite among science fiction readers. 


Louis Wu, accompanied by a young woman with genes for luck, and a captured kzin – a warlike species resembling 8-foot-tall cats -- are taken on a space ship run by a brilliant 2-headed alien called Nessus.  Their destination is the Ringworld, an artificially constructed ring with high walls that hold 3 million times the area of Earth. Its origins are shrouded in mystery.


The adventures of Louis and his companions on the Ringworld are unforgettable . . .

Muggsy B ,

What a fun story

I quite liked this book. The characters were interesting and unique to imagine. The concepts were very well thought out. The vast scale of the ring world was impossible to fully imagine. I tried 3D modelling it to wrap my head around it, but it kept making my computer crash.

It was a good experience reading this book.

Magnificent master piece

From one of the all time hard scimitar masters comes a story so convincing that a team of MIT students examined the ring world and calculated it had a wobble.

Larry Niven's masterpiece.
