Topic: The Ringworld Throne

	Ringworld - Wikipedia
		The "Ringworld" is an artificial ring about a million miles wide and approximately the diameter of Earth's orbit (which makes it about 600 million miles in circumference), centered about a star, and rotating to provide an Earthlike artificial gravity, with a habitable flat inner surface equivalent in area to approximately three million Earth-sized planets.
		The Ringworld could be regarded as a thin slice of a Dyson sphere, with which it shares a number of characteristics.
		To provide an approximation of the day–night cycle common to planets, Niven's Ringworld was also provided with a separate ring of "shadow squares" linked together (by "shadow square wires") in a ring close to the star, rotating at slightly faster than the Ringworld's spin, providing a lot of twilight, as well as a day-night cycle.

		The center 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.
		Ringworld Throne only manages to confirm your suspicions that Ringworld is played out as a theme.
		Louis Wu is legendary on the Ringworld for once boiling an ocean to destroy a field of mirror sunflowers (which kill their prey by focusing sunlight on it and burning it).

	SF REVIEWS.NET: The Ringworld Throne / Larry Niven
		Things to remember about the Ringworld, apart from the fact that it's a ring-shaped world: Louis Wu (human) and the Hindmost (two-headed Pierson's Puppeteer), who don't particularly like each other, have just saved the Ringworld from certain doom by correcting an instability in its orbit that was about to send it crashing into its sun.
		Indeed, the way in which the Ringworld itself has captured the imaginations of fandom purely from a scientific standpoint is a matter of public record.
		Traveling across the murky plains (overcast and rainy weather is still a common after-effect of the plasma burst) to trade with the Grass Giants, Vala and her team discover that the inclement, sunless weather has encouraged the insentient, sun-hating Vampires to breed like mad across the landscape.

		This is the story of how Louis Wu's hand-picked successor to the Ringworld "throne" preserves the Ringworld from the threat of annihilation by human cops, kzinti warcats and other folk we thought we had learned to like.
		The first half was the previous "Ringworld Throne." Unfortunately, Niven didn't combine them, toss out the filler in "Throne", and write the book that would have been the worthy successor to "Ringworld" and "Ringworld Engineers." But he didn't, and the two half books don't make a whole one.
		In Ringworld, Louis Wu had encountered a very large patch of sunflowers, but except for a minor incident that left Speaker to Animals hairless and charred, his party managed to hide from their reflected sunbeams during the day.

		But odd events on the Ringworld would require Louis Wu's attention once again: Vampires were gathering in untold numbers; Protectors, immensely powerful beings dedicated to safeguarding their own bloodlines above all else, were interfering with species not their own and with each other.
		If the Ringworld was to remain intact, it was going to need one central Protector of its own.
		"'Ringworld Throne' offers the usual Nivenian pleasures--the carefully imagined landscape; the observation of social interaction across species lines; the mystery-story and puzzle-solving strains, as characters figure things out from clues and work their ways out of predicaments with observation, intelligence, and the materials at hand."

	The Ringworld Throne
		In part one, 'The Shadow Nest', vampires are massing on the Ringworld, an artificial structure encircling a star and home to a multitude of species.
		The Ringworld as conceived by Larry Niven is inhabited with a multitude of different species, each with their own habits and lifestyle.
		The concept of the Ringworld, an artificial structure that forms a complete circle around a star, is worked out brilliantly throughout the Ringworld series.

	Book Review: Blue Mars, Ringworld Throne, Archangel
		Louis's old friend, Valavirgillin, is battling the vampires and, in fact, the first part of the book concentrates on Valavirgillin and her "fearless vampire slayers." However, the vampires are not nearly as worrisome to Louis as the signs that Protectors may be fiddling around with the machinery that keeps Ringworld operating.
		Ringworld is always a fascinating place, and this time readers get to see it through the eyes of some of its more unusual inhabitants -- including the elusive Vampires and Ghouls.
		Readers who haven't been to Ringworld before should definitely read the other books first, both to fill in gaps -- virtually nothing about past events is explained -- and to get a real sense of what made the Ringworld series great.

	'Ringworld Throne' by Larry Niven - Poetry Connection
		The first two ringworld novels were great, and I had read pretty much all of LN's work up to 10 years ago.
		I assumed that this was due to the length of time it is since I read the first two Ringworld titles, but the other comments here suggest that I just wasted my time.
		Having read just about every science fiction novel with Larry Niven's name on the cover, I was sure that Ringworld Throne could not be as bad as the reviews.

	Hellcrown Ringworld Renderings
		The Ringworld is an imaginary artificial structure imagined and written about by Larry Niven.
		One consequence of the structure of the Ringworld is that wherever you stand on its surface you will be able to see, in the very far distance, ahead of you and behind you the Ring rising up above you.
		During the day it is faint and the sun will obscure it higher up, but at night it is a glorious sight as alternate strips of lit and shadowed Ringworld surface rise up to meet at the zenith.

		Larry Niven's 'Ringworld' burst upon the world in 1970 and immediately became a classic, winning both the Hugo and Nebula awards.
		Now Niven has returned to the phenomenal world and 'The Ringworld Throne' takes its place in "the most energetic future history ever written" (The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction).
		The Ringworld sequence is his most significant and enduring achievement.

		Sequel to the multi-award winning original, Ringworld, and The Ringworld Engineers.
		Readers have complained that the plot is confusing and that much of the book focuses, not on the activities of Louis Wu and crew, but on characters he encountered in Ringworld Engineers.
		However, do not pass up the opportunity to have many questions about the Ringworld answered, including that of who is really in charge.

		The last (?) book that deals specifically with the Ringworld (there are many more on the subject of the Ringworld Universe), this book is written in the same style as the previous ones.
		Louis Wu remains on Ringworld, stranded there by his actions in the previous book, "Ringworld Engineers".
		After meeting up with him again on the same ship they commandeered from the Kzin map, we get to follow some other people for a while, with Louis coming in focus every now and again.

		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.
		Ringworld Throne would have been a short story if you ripped out every page with his twisted interspecies sex fantasies, and I promosed myself that I would toss Rindworld's Children if I encountered a single scene of gratuitous rishathra that didn't propel the plot line.
		Surprisingly, I got through half the book, but that sucker is on the curb for recycling as I write this.

		Perhaps he should have stuck with his feelings and left Ringworld as is was in the second book.
		One reason I like the first two books was the fact that the story was based on the thoughts and feelings of Luis Wu, the ultimate tourist.
		If you are a fan of the Ringworld series, now that it's out in paper back, it will be worth your while to finish off the series but, if you're not, then I suggest any of the other great Niven stories before I suggest this one.

		The Ringworld is a single artificial habitat, a circular ribbon one million miles wide and as long as Earth's orbit, with a star at its center.
		The Ringworld was built by the Pak, an ancient humanoid species from which humanity evolved.

		Sadly Ringworld Throne is not one of his better efforts.
		The second half is back to Louis Wu and the Hindmost fighting Pak Protectors again, but it's a lot less involving than last time and - while there's a clever take on the origins of the Fist-Of-God mountain - Ringworld Throne is a overall a weak coda to the previous two books.
		The book is not quite up there with Ringworld and The Ringworld Engineers.

		Ringworld (1970) and its many offspring (The Ringworld Engineers, etc.) are an SF institution.
		Unfortunately, bestseller Niven's first Ringworld installment in 10 years combines the worst qualities of hard SF (i.e., cardboard characters, a plot propelled primarily by technological infodumps) with the least appealing characteristics of sequelitis (i.e., a story no one can follow without fanatic dedication to earlier books).
		In the year 2893, 67 Ringworld days after Louis Wu, badly wounded in battle with "the Vampire protector, Bram," stepped into a healing autodoc, our hero awakens with a restored, younger body.

		Louis Wu returns to the surface of the Ringworld to find that Teela wasn't the only hominid to find tree-of-life.
		The Ringworld itself still feels like a new and original structure, decades after its creation.
		I think it's probably one of his weakest works, but it still rates an overall score of 4 out of 6.
