Light Creasing on Front Rear Covers Spine; Front Rear Covers Spine Lightly Chipped; Spine Slightly Cocked; Edges Lightly Soiled; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. The Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel.the gripping story of a ring-shaped world around a distant sun. SYNOPSIS: THE DIMENSIONS OF RINGWORLD. "I myself have dreamed up an intermediate step between Dyson spheres and planets. Build a ring 93 million miles in radius one Earth orbit which would make it 600 million miles long. It we have the mass of Jupiter to work with and if we make it a million miles wide we get a thickness of about a thousand meters. The Ringworld would thus be much sturdier than a Dyson sphere." "There are other advantages. We can spin it for gravity. Rotation on its axis of 700 miles/second would give the Ringworld one gravity outward. We wouldn't even have to roof it over. Put walls a thousand miles high at each rim aimed at the sun and very little of the air will leak over the edges." "The thing is roomy enough: three million times the area of the Earth. It will be some time before anyone complains of the crowding."--Larry Niven - and - FOUR TRAVELERS COME TO THE RINGWORLD. Louis Wu - human and old old; bored with having lived too fully for far too many years. Seeking a challenge and all too capable of handling it. Nessus - a trembling coward a puppeteer with a built-in survival pattern on nonviolence. Except that this particular puppeteer is insane. Teela Brown - human; a wide-eyed youngster with no allegiances no experiences no abilities. And all the luck in the world. Speaker-To-Animals - kzin; large orange-furred and carnivorous. And one of the most savage life-forms known in the galaxy. Why did these disparate individuals come together How could they possibly function together And where in the name of anything sane were they headed AWARDS: 1970 Nebula Award; 1971 Hugo Award.

ALSO KNOWN AS: A much shorter version of World of Ptavvs first appeared in Worlds of Tomorrow. SYNOPSIS: Larry Greenberg was a sensitive. His telepathic tendencies had been trained and developed by working with dolphins learning their 'language' and teaching them English. The trouble was that such interchanges were basically emotional and the two personalities involved could become confused about who was who. But it was a detail only one that could be controlled. Until the day Larry's physicist friend came up with a "Sea Statue"--a creature frozen in time--and found a way to release it. And Larry found himself inside the mind of a thrint a naturally telepathic creature of enormous power and with murderous inclinations toward all inferior organisms such as Larry! - and - With uncanny facility one enters the mind of an alien-an overbearing careless superior alien. Superior in technology superior in thought power resources development--in just about everything. Except that the thrint is not a sociable creature to anything but other thrints. He seems to be entirely motivated by a desire to grab off a planet a whole planet for himself. To own. Somehow Larry Greenberg's frailly developed telepathic capacities have to offset this creature: Some way Larry must divert it without losing his own mind. The world--Larry's world--is waiting to be plundered. First Thus 2nd Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. Illus. by Michael McInnerney. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Ballantine Books, Inc.
