Fate of Worlds

Return From the Ringworld
Feb 27, 2015JackPurcell rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
This appears to be the conclusion of a series Niven began in the early 1970s generally referred to then as "Known Space" tales, culminating in the Ringworld stories. In those days Niven created tight plots, good characters and absorbing fiction. This [probably] final episode many decades later involves the same characters as some of those. However, the plotting is no longer tight and the characters would probably be lost on those who've never known them through Niven's earlier adventures. Fate of Worlds was a joy for me, and I can easily understand why it mightn't be for those who've never heard of We Made It, Bandersnatchi, Paks, Puppeteers, et al.
