Betrayer of Worlds Audiobook

" These books just keep getting better as they go. I'm pretty sure reading the original "Ringworld" novel that these novels are intended to precede in the story line would be a major let down at this point if I picked it up today. "

" Classic Niven. I love the way his characters think. His descriptions are quite vivid - I can always get great mind-pictures from his writing. "

" A very good finish to the Fleet of World series. The series, or at least the last 2, should be read in order. A good plot with the usual collection of interesting characters. My only complaint is that the ending seems sort of contrived, although this may have been necessary to fit in with Ringworld (this series is a prequel to Ringworld, which of course was written years ago). On the whole, the series is better than any individual book so I'd recommend reading them all. "

" This book was very good all the way through until the ending. The ending was really dissatisfying and disappointing. Usually Niven book endings are so good, that this one mystifies. "

" Nice wrap up to the ringworld prequel novels. "

" Less one star for all the retcon problems created by the existence of New Terra, etc., and the general murkiness of the overall timeline. "

" Louis Wu falls in with Puppeteers, Paks and the strange in body but not in outlook Gw'oth. Kind of patchy, many references to other stories in this sequence, kind of slow. "

" Another page turned from Larry Niven and his collaborator Edward Lerner. The whole Fleet of Worlds set is good stuff, not quite up to the best of Niven, but certainly readable and exciting, and a good chance to visit the Known Space universe once again. "

" 70 years before Ringworld, more puppeteer machinations and interstellar adventure. By the end, the situation is not resolved, relative to what we know about the galaxy from Ringworld, so it seems to promise at least one more book. Great! "

" I lost interest halfway through and stopped reading. Ringworld should have been left alone but there are now at least six sequels and prequels and this one just didn't do it for me. "

" Warmed up at the end, but the puppetiers are not my favorites. Convoluted "

" An enjoyable series exploring the complexities of alien races competing for safety and a future. Different ideologies result in war, betrayal and alliances of convenience and generosity. "

" I enjoyed this book. Took me awhile to remember the setting from the Ring World. "

" The continuing "Worlds" story. The slugs take over the puppeteers. Humans get mixed up, a little, and Louis Wu is introduced to the story. Overall, lite, not as interesting as the previous three novels. Characters just a little empty. "

" Nice wrap up to the ringworld prequel novels. "
