“For new readers, there’s fascinating adventure in plenitude. For
old fans of Niven’s Known Space series, or of the original volume,
there are all the fine, characteristic touches that delight us
Niven fans, and which support his reputation for uncommon wittiness
and fast narrative pace.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“The Ringworld Engineers has all the imaginativeness,
convincing detail, and narrative vivacity that have come to be
associated with the works of Larry Niven. Furthermore, it answers a
lot of questions that have been tantalizing his readers for a long
time. Most highly recommended!”—Paul Anderson
“When I finished The Ringworld Engineers, I cleared my
calendar for a week, sat down, and reread every word of the Known
Space cycle from scratch, then reread The Ringworld
Engineers. It was worth the effort, and left me staggered by
the breadth and scope of Larry’s vision. . . . If you count
yourself as a true friend of Larry Niven, race right out and get
this one.”—Analog Science Fiction Magazine
“Another fine masterpiece from the master of science fiction . . .
The coming conquest of space has always been a central myth of
science fiction, and Larry Niven’s future worlds have made the most
of it. The Ringworld itself is a dazzling notion, carrying the
future evolution of technology about as far as possible.”—Jack
Williamson
“Fans of the original novel will not be disappointed, and newcomers
will have no trouble following the plot, in this adventurous
exploration of a mind-boggling landscape. Despite the years that
have passed in the lives of both the character and the author, this
is a remarkably seamless continuation of the first book. Niven’s
style is still as unobtrusive and efficient, his speculative
science as clever, his alien race as intriguing, and his story’s
resolution as satisfying as ever.”—Publishers Weekly
