À propos de cet audio
The Ringworld is a landmark engineering achievement, a flat band 3-million-times the surface area of Earth, encircling a distant star. Home to trillions of inhabitants, not all of which are human, and host to amazing technological wonders, the Ringworld is unique in all of the universe.
Explorer Louis Wu, an Earth-born human who was part of the first expedition to Ringworld, becomes enmeshed in interplanetary and interspecies intrigue as war, and a powerful new weapon, threatens to tear the Ringworld apart forever. Now, the future of Ringworld lies in the actions of its children: Tunesmith, the Ghould protector; Acolyte, the exiled son of Speaker-to-Animals, and Wembleth, a strange Ringworld native with a mysterious past. All must play a dangerous role in order to save Ringworld's population, and the stability of Ringworld itself.
Blending awe-inspiring science with non-stop action and fun, Ringworld's Children, the fourth installment of the multiple-award-winning saga, is the perfect introduction for listeners new to this New York Times best-selling series and for long-time fans of Larry Niven's Ringworld.

Welcome to Ringworld, an intermediate step between Dyson Spheres and planets. The gravitational force created by a rotation on its axis of 770 miles per second means no need for a roof. Walls 1,000 miles high at each rim will let in the sun and prevent much air from escaping. Larry Niven's novel, Ringworld, is the winner of the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmars, an Australian award for Best International Science Fiction.

Nothing quite prepared telepath Larry Greenberg for mind-to-mind contact with an alien. In the interest of science, Larry tapped the mind of Kzanol - and that was his first mistake. Kzanol was a thrint from a distant galaxy. He had been trapped on Earth in a time-stasis field for two billion years. Now he was on the loose, and Larry knew everything he was thinking. Thrints lived to plunder and enslave lesser planets - and what the planet Kzanol had in mind was Earth!

The Mote In God's Eye is their acknowledged masterpiece, an epic novel of mankind's first encounter with alien life that transcends the genre. No lesser an authority than Robert A. Heinlein called it "possibly the finest science fiction novel I have ever read".

At first, only a few things are known about the celestial object that astronomers dub Rama. It is huge, weighing more than ten trillion tons. And it is hurtling through the solar system at inconceivable speed. Then a space probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft. Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence.

Different Performance
I enjoyed the story, and the reader grew on me over the course of the book but there were a couple things that bothered me. Certain pronouncements of words were changed and the readers interpretation of characters was different from previous ones. This bothered me throughout the story but I persevered.

Changed narrator from previous novels...terrible
I don't know who decided to change the narrator 3/4 of the way through the series but they should be staked out somewhere with a sunflower. At least make the new narrator listen to the previous novels so he gets his pronunciation the same.
The change is jarring to say the least.

I enjoyed the story , not the narrator.
I didn't like the narrator. made Acolyte sound goofy,and Tunesmith sound like a cross between robotic and a infomercial host. Louis Wu was ok.
The Hindmost wasn't melodic or feminin sounding at all.

Very disappointed in Narrator’s voice.
I am saddened by this audiobook. I am sure the story is just as fantastic as all the other Ringworld books. The story tellers voice is just awful it’s so monotone that it puts me to sleep. He also mispronounces all of the names and other terms in the book. His voice reminds me of the teacher announcing roll call on Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I fear the only way to actually enjoy what I know will be a fantastic book will be to read a print version of it. I hope they decide to re-record this audiobook with the narrator of the rest of the series.
