This will likely be the last Larry Niven book I read. Not because this one is terrible but because overall Ringworld is just not that great of a series.
Essentially in this book outside invaders are coming to the ringworld to obtain its tech and in a war for the world and its up to louis Wu and the protectors to avert disaster.
I gave this a 3 star review mainly because it seriously lightened up on rithshara (interspecies sex) which honestly made the story telling better by that fact alone. Which tells you something about how bad it is when simply removing something improves the story .
On the whole I don't think the story is bad as far as a story goes, i just don't think Larry Niven is all that great a writer overall.
I still don't care that much about the characters and in the end its meh.
