"Fleet of Worlds" marks Larry Niven's first full novel-length
collaboration within his Known Space universe, the playground he
created for his bestselling Ringworld series. Teaming up with
fellow SF writer Edward M. Lerner, "Fleet of Worlds" takes a closer
look at the Human-Puppeteer (Citizens) relations and 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, gave them a world, 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 their planets, the Fleet of Worlds, with
them.
Someone must scout ahead, and Kirsten and her crew eagerly
volunteer. Under the guiding eye of Nessus, their Citizen mentor,
they explore for any possible dangers in the Fleet's path--and
uncover long-hidden truths that will shake the foundations of
worlds.
