{"product_id":"ringworld","title":"Ringworld","description":"[Read by Tom Parker - aka - Grover Gardner]\n\nThe artifact is a vast circular ribbon of matter, some 180 million miles across, with a sun at its center. Pierson's puppeteers--strange, three-legged, two-headed aliens--discovered this ''Ringworld'' in a hitherto unexplored part of the galaxy. Curious about the immense structure, but frightened by the prospect of meeting the builders, they set about assembling a team to explore it:\n\n-Louis Wu, human -- old and bored with having lived too fully for too many years, seeking an adventure, and all too capable of handling it.\n\n-Nessus, puppeteer -- a trembling coward from a species with an inbuilt survival pattern of nonviolence. This particular puppeteer, however, is insane.\n\n-Speaker-to-Animals, kzin -- large, orange-furred, and carnivorous. The kzin are one of the most savage life-forms known.\n\nThe party's expedition, however, goes disastrously wrong when their ship crash-lands and its motley crew faces a daunting trek across thousands of miles of Ringworld territory.\n\n(**Best Novel 1970 Nebula Award, Best Novel 1971 Hugo Award, Locus Award Winner)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0345316754\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0345316754.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Niven, Larry\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Mass market paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
