About this listen
It’s been 20 years since the quixotic and worldsweary Louis Wu discovered the Ringworld. Now he and SpeakertoAnimals are going back, captives of the Hindmost, a deposed puppeteer leader.
With Louis’ help, the Hindmost intends to regain his status by bringing back such extraordinary treasures from the Ringworld that his fellow puppeteers will have to be impressed. But when they arrive, Louis discovers that the Ringworld is no longer stable - and will destroy itself within months. To survive, he must locate the control center of the legendary engineers who built the planet.
His quest becomes a wild and gripping venture blended with the mysteries and spectacular technologies that only Larry Niven can conjure.

"The Ringworld Engineers has all the imaginativeness, convincing detail, and narrative vivacity that have come to be associated with the works of Larry Niven. Furthermore, it answers a lot of questions that have been tantalizing his readers for a long time. Most highly recommended!” (Poul Anderson)

I hate narration changes
Any additional comments?
I don't know how much was the book, the narration, or just my expectations but this one just didn't grab me like the first in series. The story seemed flatter and though the narration was good, I didn't fall in love. The first Ringworld narrator was, I guess, my 'first love' of audiobooks, so kind of a high standard to meet!

Entertaining
Not as good as the first but still up there. Another fun exploration of interesting ideas.

Not as good as the first but still great
An excellent sequel to the first instalment, it really deepened the universe and added some new likeable characters. If you enjoyed the first you will certainly enjoy this one!

Author has lost the plot and narrator is awful
What a disappointment after the first book. This sequel should have remained un-written. The author's obsession with interracial sex which adds nothing to the story is disturbing. The narrator of the first book must have refused to read this garbage and the new narrator is plain awful they way he characterises the various players.
