Fleeing the supernova chain reaction at the galactic core, the cowardly Puppeteers of the Fleet of Worlds have -- just barely -- survived.

They’ve stumbled from one crisis to the next: the rebellion of their human slaves, the relentless questing of the species of Known Space, the spectacular rise of the starfishlike Gw’oth, the onslaught of the genocidal Pak. Catastrophe looms again as past crises return -- and converge. Who can possibly save the Fleet of Worlds from its greatest peril yet?

(And in which we learn that the Ringworld was *not* Louis Wu's first epic adventure.)

Which is all by way of announcing that BETRAYER OF WORLDS, Larry and Ed's latest book, is now available.
