Synopsis
Louis Wu is kidnapped by a Pierson's Puppeteer and coerced into returning to the Ringworld, the enormous artificial habitat encircling a distant star. The massive structure is slowly drifting toward its sun, and Louis must find a way to save both the Ringworld and its billions of inhabitants before it is too late.
