BOOKS : Ringworld Throne
What?
While the first two books where great, this felt like a 'lets make money'; didn't really have any new ideas, some obvious inconsistencies (how come we can suddenly disc step anti/spin ward?) and was overall uncompelling (maybe it was my fevered state...)
The worst thing, though, was the ending in which there are all these hints about Louis Wu (the main character) which I just couldn't work out at all. And that was frustrating because it seemed that these hints were what the book was ultimately about!
Longer than the other two, more distractions, more stupid alien sex, all a bit unnecessary really.
(Gee that was pretty damning; sorry Robert Niven!)
