They say the golden age of science fiction is twelve, and there are many books I wish I had read at that age, but didn’t get around to. This is one such book. Ringworld was written in 1970 by Larry Niven, and won the Hugo, Nubula and Locus awards. It ...more

Space Opera meets Slice of Life This is the kind of story where attention to detail is a feature, not a bug. At times the story feels more like a "slice of life" story until the plot kicks in, but for me that again is a plus, not a minus. As an intro ...more
