The Ringworld Throne by Larry Niven.

I loved Ringworld and The Ringworld Engineers, but this one was was just terrible.

I don't know why he went in this direction, from the big ideas in the first couple of books to a novel that's half zombie (vampire) horde, half furry fetish (rishathra) story, it was a real let-down.

Larry Niven's Ringworld is excellent.

You could also get a good cross-section of sci-fi through various anthologies, I've got a bunch of the Year's Best Sci-Fi series which have helped me discover a bunch of authors (e.g. Greg Bear, Greg Egan, Michael Swanwick, Nancy Kress, and lots of others I enjoy reading).

Love Ringworlds!

If anyone hasn't read Ringworld by Larry Niven, it's an amazing novel and one of my personal favorites. Highly recommended.

Niven's Ringworld series is very cool, but I don't know how it compares to Mass Effect in terms of action.

u/Fhel · 3 pointsr/scifi

I dunno if these will float your boat but you can try:

Traitor - Amazing standalone book set in the starwars universe

Ender's saga - Philosphy, strategy

Dune series - Abstract philosophy, higher concepts

Ringworld - Haven't read it but I've heard it's worth a go. I'm going to start it as soon as I finish the bloody Sword of Truth series.

Hitchhikers - Need I explain?

u/omaca · 3 pointsr/scifi

Ringworld by Larry Niven is a classic. Take a handful of primary characters and dump them in a mind-boggingly huge, alien, breath-taking world... sit back and absorb the awesome...

EDIT: Oppps... just noticed you already mentioned Ringworld. I'm dumb. Sorry.

You may be interested in reading about Larry Niven's Ringworld novel, as it explores these same ideas.

I would recommend looking at the reviews on flayrah. Personally, I have not found much in the way of quality furry literature, but I have read a few.

The Sacred Book of The Werewolf by Victor Pelevin. There are two kinds of furry books: those writen by furries and those that are writen by non-furries. This is one of the latter. I do not have the time to give a full review, but if you like werewolves, kitsune, eastern philosophies, Russian culture (or at least curious about it) eastern and russian folklore, and supernatural romances, you might just like (I did). Furriness - 6, Quality - 10

Ringworld by Larry Niven. This usually shows up somewhere on the top 100 sci fi novels. However, this is another book not written by a furry, and it shows since only one character could be classified as "furry". Furriness - 4, Quality - 10

Rise of the Wolf by Curtis Jobling. I have not read much of this so far, but from what I have seen it is high fantasy. So far, I have not been impressed with the writing, which is why I haven't finished it. Furriness >5, Quality <6

In Wilder Lands by Jim Galford. Another high fantasy novel, but this one was much better written. I will be buying the sequel when comes out, for whatever it is worth. It does have a few problems, namely that many characters and the world need to be fleshed out more. Furriness - 9, Quality - 7.

Spice and Wolf by Isuna Hasekura. Yes, I know it is not exactly furry, but OP may still like it. One of the main character is a wolf "god" who takes the form a young woman, and the other is a traveling merchant. The setting is largely inspired by post dark ages Europe and is not overwhelmed with fantasy brickabrack. Furriness - 2, Quality - 8

Now, I don't use the word classic too often when referring to a novel, but in this case, I will. Probably the third or fourth sci-fi book I read. I was completely hooked from this book on :)

If you liked Rendezvous with Rama, you will also like Ringworld by Larry Niven. https://www.amazon.com/Ringworld-Del-book-Larry-Niven/dp/0345333926

I was at a bookstore once (long before the days of Amazon) and there was a guy there who was trying to get a copy of "Ringworld" by Larry Niven.

The clerk said they could not even order it, so I caught up with him on his way out and told him I had a copy, and would just give it to him.

He gave me his mailing address, and he was a teacher at a remote reserve who seldom made it to town. I mailed him the book, and that was the end of it. His name was John Dunn. {Am I banned? This happened in 1976}

I didn't mind...it was my brother's book anyway.

I hear that SyFy has made a miniseries of that book, and i am sure it will be lame.

I buy most things from half.com. Much cheaper. Quick search shows it for $.75 in paperback and as cheap as $5.49 in HC. Amazon.com has it new from $4.17. Not sure why you only showed used at Amazon.

u/TheKnightWhoSaysMeh · 1 pointr/suggestmeabook

Ringworld by Larry Niven may fit. Admittedly not a literary masterpiece, but sure is a great page turner with magnificent world-building to soak into.

^edit: ^typo ^in ^link.

Interesting, The Kindle version is free on Amazon .. good enough reason to add it to my collection :)

I'm mostly into SciFi books myself. Recently I've been reading a bit by Paul McAuley, If I were to recommend something recent it'd be The Quiet War and Gardens of the Sun by him. For old classics you can't go wrong with Ender's Game or Ringworld.

It looks a little like Ringworld

u/somethinginteresting · 1 pointr/science

Please see Ringworld for a detailed answer.

u/donkeedong · 1 pointr/Games

It sounds like you really like Ringworld structures, have you ever read the book Ringworld? I would love an open world/sandbox game set in that universe

If you get Good Omens before a bomb goes off, you need a new fortune teller.

I translated this myself (or maybe I used Bing), but I am pretty sure Schoko-bons means "shocking bombs." You know what happens when a bomb goes off? Lots of stuff gets moved, and lives are changed, by creating an Empty Space in a manner most deadly, hole-y, rough, and immediate. The Intent to Live makes little difference in a Blood Crime of this magnitude. If the bomb is big enough, it turns a world into a ring of debris. And we all look something like this, our only Legacies a change jar scattered across the solar system.

Don't you even think about disgracing Ringworld by comparing it to Halo.
