A prelude towards the seminal technology fiction basic, Ringworld

Since fleeing the supernova chain reaction at the galactic core, the cowardly Puppeteers of the Fleet of Worlds have-just barely-survived one turmoil after another: the rebellion of their human slaves, the relentless questing from the types of Known Space, the spectacular rise from the starfish-like Gw’oth, as well as the onslaught of the genocidal Pak.

Now fresh new disaster looms, as if past crises have returned and converged. Who may possibly about Betrayer of Worlds save the Fleet this time around?

Louis Wu? Trapped in the Wunderland civil battle, all he desires is to look home-but the just possible escape will plunge him into unknowable danger.

Ol’t’ro? The Gw’oth ensemble brain fled over the stars to determine a colony globe clear of tyranny. However, many problems can’t be left out, and various other problems-like the Fleet of Worlds itself-are racing straight at them.

Achilles? Despite past disgrace, the charismatic Puppeteer politician knows he is destined for greatness. He will do anything to seize power-and take his revenge on everyone who ever stood in his method.

Nessus? The insane Puppeteer scout has gone out of ideas-and resources-with just desperation left to guide him.

Their hopes and fears, dreams and ambitions are going to collide. As well as the winner requires … worlds.
