<p>I like learning more of Louis Wu's background, but I thought pulling
him into the Puppeteer fleet, giving him a child, and kicking him
out with his memories removed, all before the events of Ringworld,
damaged my suspension of disbelief.</p>
<p>I thought the writing of this book was perfectly adequate, if not to
the standards of Niven in his prime.</p>
