FLEET OF WORLDS

Book ID/图书代码： 13005507B15518

English Summary/英文概要： Fleet of Worlds marks Larry Niven’s first full novel-length collaboration within his Known Space universe, the playground he created for his bestselling Ringworld series. Teaming up with fellow SF writer Edward M. Lerner, Fleet of Worlds takes a closer look at the Human-Puppeteer (Citizens) relations and the events leading up to Niven’s first Ringworld novel.
Kirsten Quinn-Kovacs is among the best and brightest of her people. She gratefully serves the gentle race that rescued her ancestors from a dying starship, gave them a world, and nurtures them still. If only the Citizens knew where Kirsten’s people came from….
A chain reaction of supernovae at the galaxy’s core has unleashed a wave of lethal radiation that will sterilize the galaxy. The Citizens flee, taking their planets, the Fleet of Worlds, with them.
Someone must scout ahead, and Kirsten and her crew eagerly volunteer. Under the guiding eye of Nessus, their Citizen mentor, they explore for any possible dangers in the Fleet’s path—and uncover long-hidden truths that will shake the foundations of worlds.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2198年冰川世界的公民捕获了人类殖民飞船-Long Pass。500年来，Puppeteer人小心地培养人类，确保他们对主人的顺从。并向他们灌输一种思想——是Puppeteer族在广袤的太空中拯救了人类。因此到2650年人类殖民者还是对操纵他们的主人相当顺从。直到有一天，真相被发现……
这本书可能对新读者来说较难上手。如果没有读过该作者1970年作品《环形世界》，本书的世界观比较难以理解。不过这本书还是一部相当强悍的科幻力作

About the Author/作者介绍： LARRY NIVEN born April 30, 1938 in Los Angeles, California. Attended California Institute of Technology; flunked out after discovering a book store jammed with used science fiction magazines. Graduated Washburn University, Kansas, June 1962: BA in Mathematics with a Minor in Psychology, and later received an honorary doctorate in Letters from Washburn. Interests: Science fiction conventions, role playing games, AAAS meetings and other gatherings of people at the cutting edges of science. Comics. Folk singing. Yoga and other approaches to longevity. Moving mankind into space by any means, but particularly by making space endeavors attractive to commercial interests. Several times we’ve hosted The Citizens Advisory Council for a National Space Policy. I grew up with dogs. I live with a cat, and borrow dogs to hike with. I have passing acquaintance with raccoons and ferrets. Associating with nonhumans has certainly gained me insight into alien intelligences.

EDWARD M. LERNER has degrees in physics and computer science (and, curiously enough, an MBA). Now writing SF full time, Lerner worked in high tech for thirty years (including seven years as a NASA contractor), as everything from engineer to senior vice president. That experience includes techie havens (such as Bell Labs and Northrop Grumman), an Internet company, and a software start-up. It all shows up in his fiction. His books include Probe, Moonstruck, and the collection Creative Destruction. His short fiction has appeared in ANALOG, ARTEMIS, and JIM BAEN’S UNIVERSE magazine, on Amazon Shorts, and in the anthologies Year’s Best SF 7 and Future Washington. His novels in the pipeline are Fools’ Experiments and, in collaboration with Larry Niven, FLEET OF WORLDS and JUGGLER OF WORLDS.
