This summer I read Ringworld by Larry Niven. It is a science fiction book where there are four alien races: the outsiders a intelligent gas-like race capable of extradinarily advanced technology, a race of intelligent felines known as Kzin, humans and puppeteers three legged creatures with two heads. The puppeteer discovers a strange ring around a sun similar to Earth's , which the puppeteers, evolutionarily made as cowards, cannot go to alone.
To aleve their fears they take two humans,Neela Brown and Louis Gridley Wu and one feline,Speaker-to-Animals to the ring and discover a something extraordinary. It's an amazing novel and everyone should read it. Many shocking secrets are discovered within this tome, which are both horrifying and amazing.
At the same time, it is the strangest science fiction I have ever read. It's unusaul characters, and strange dialougue force me to think about what I am reading.But at the end the story we are left a cliffhanger: who will tell the inhabitants of known space back home? Why does this ring exist?
