Ten years after the events of Larry Niven and Edward M. Lerner's Ringworld prequel JUGGLER OF WORLDS, the Puppeteers and the now-free human colony of the Fleet of Worlds discover a more immediate threat than the explosion of the Galactic Core: the terrifying and utterly ruthless Pak -- strange yet weirldly humanlike aliens who have been destroying all life in their path away from the Core -- are now approaching the Fleet. The challenge of saving the Fleet falls to Sigmund Ausfaller -- former military intelligence agent on Earth and now a member of the Fleet's human colony, -- along with his crew, the suspicious Puppeteer Baedeker and their scary, temporary allies the Gw'oth. Fascinating backstory about the Pak protectors and their past history with Earth.

"You'll find plenty here to enjoy. There are bizarre aliens both old and new; there's more advanced technology than you can shake a neutron star at; there are ideas to make your head spin."
- Analog Science Fiction and Fact on DESTROYER OF WORLDS

"Fans of Niven's Known Space... will enjoy seeing past puzzles made clear."
- Publishers Weekly on DESTROYER OF WORLDS

"Fun, fast, and full of... remarkable aliens."
- SFrevu on DESTROYER OF WORLDS

"A lively prequel to Niven's 1970 classic, RINGWORLD... Fans of hard SF will be well rewarded."
- Publishers Weekly on FLEET OF WORLDS

"A new Known Space book, particularly one with new information about Puppeteers and their doings behind the scenes of human history, needs recommending within the science fiction community about as much as a new Harry Potter novel does, well, anywhere. But Niven and Lerner have produced a novel that can stand on its own as well as part of the Known Space franchise."
- Locus on FLEET OF WORLDS

"Exceptional freshness and suspense... full of startling revelations about human and puppeteer politics."
- Booklist on FLEET OF WORLDS

"Niven and Lerner... clearly enjoy revisiting aliens familiar from Niven's menagerie while spinning an elaborate tale of interplanetary intrigue. Their many fans will, too."
- Booklist on JUGGLER OF WORLDS "Niven and Lerner... adroitly expand upon familiar ground... and, at the same time, pour it into an entirely new bottle."
- Starlog on JUGGLER OF WORLDS

"Great story-telling is still alive in science fiction because of Larry Niven, and his finest work is the Ringworld series."
- Orson Scott Card
