The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Human colonists living in the Puppeteer Fleet of Worlds seek to learn about their true past and regain contact with Earth.

For 40 years, Larry Niven has been setting most of his science-fiction novels and short stories in a future history he calls Known Space. It has proven to be a very fertile milieu, with stories set in both the distant past and the distant future, featuring a number of fascinating alien races, including the cowardly and manipulative Puppeteers and the brave and quarrelsome Kzinti, which participated with humans in the exploration of Ringworld, the giant alien artifact that is Niven's most memorable creation.

Fleet of Worlds is the first of a two-novel prequel to the Ringworld novel series. (The second novel will be called Juggler of Worlds.) It is the first Known Space novel to be written with a co-author, Edward M. Lerner, and a very worthy addition to the ongoing Known Space future history.
