	Ringworld's Children by Larry Niven
		That is, it was in 1970 that readers first encountered Larry Niven’s reluctant hero, Louis Wu, and his fascinating playground, the Ringworld.
		In the intervening years author Larry Niven discovered that the Ringworld required stabilization rockets to stay in orbit; an almost magical material from which it is built, and even invented the perfect people to have build the massive structure: the Protectors.
		The third book, Ringworld Throne is about the ecology of the ring: the hominids that were seeded into the world by the Protectors and have evolved to fit its every ecological niche, the inventible war between Protectors due to their brilliance and evolutionally mandated short-sightedness.

	Science Fiction Writer Robert J. Sawyer: Larry Niven
		Larry defined our subgenre in the 1960s and 1970s (and continues to do some of the best work in it today).
		Larry smiled that shy, wry, wise smile he has, and said he hadn't read my book — he, like most of us, was way behind in his SF reading.
		And that's the absolute truth: we honor Larry this weekend because we all — every single one of us who writes this stuff for a living — have read, and been influenced by, and admire the hell out of him.

	Larry Niven, Ringworld
		Larry Niven's wildly popular book stormed out of the gates, wowing readers and picking up both the Hugo and Nebula awards for best novel.
		On finishing the story, I was struck with the distinct impression that Niven spent maybe 90 percent of his effort on Ringworld fleshing out all the celestial mechanics and cosmic equations, and only 10 percent of his effort actually devising a tale to show off this cool new toy.
		Niven works on such a broad canvas, tossing gargantuan geographic features around so casually (several oceans observed in passing are wide enough to hold Jupiter several times over) that the scale and grandeur is utterly lost, beyond the reader's ability to grasp.

		Zu nennen seien da etwa Nivens allzu stereotype Frauengestalten; erst recht bitter wird der Beigeschmack allerdings, wenn Niven das Bild "seiner" Zukunftsgesellschaft zeichnet, in der - wie selbstverständlich - Todesurteile nicht nur vollstreckt werden, sondern auch in der anschließenden "Verwertung" der Delinquenten als Organ-Ersatzteillager münden.

		But while the Ringworld is an artificial, made construct, Niven's Smoke Ring could exist in nature: a doughnut-shaped region of breathable atmosphere in null-gravity, centered on and orbiting a dense object, which is itself in orbit around a star (and in an infinite universe, it should exist somewhere).
		Two novels have explored this fertile realm thus far, The Integral Trees and The Smoke Ring, both with outstanding cover art from Michael Whelan and set in the same milieu as an earlier novel, A World Out of Time.
		Niven has written several landmark novels with longtime friend and collaborator Jerry Pournelle, including The Mote in God's Eye, an outstanding first-contact novel, its sequel, The Gripping Hand, Lucifer's Hammer, an excellent comet-collides-with-Earth novel, and Footfall, a great alien invasion novel.
