À propos de cet audio

The Ringworld is a landmark engineering achievement, a flat band 3-million-times the surface area of Earth, encircling a distant star. Home to trillions of inhabitants, not all of which are human, and host to amazing technological wonders, the Ringworld is unique in all of the universe.

Explorer Louis Wu, an Earth-born human who was part of the first expedition to Ringworld, becomes enmeshed in interplanetary and interspecies intrigue as war, and a powerful new weapon, threatens to tear the Ringworld apart forever. Now, the future of Ringworld lies in the actions of its children: Tunesmith, the Ghould protector; Acolyte, the exiled son of Speaker-to-Animals, and Wembleth, a strange Ringworld native with a mysterious past. All must play a dangerous role in order to save Ringworld's population, and the stability of Ringworld itself.

Blending awe-inspiring science with non-stop action and fun, Ringworld's Children, the fourth installment of the multiple-award-winning saga, is the perfect introduction for listeners new to this New York Times best-selling series and for long-time fans of Larry Niven's Ringworld.

I enjoyed the story, and the reader grew on me over the course of the book but there were a couple things that bothered me. Certain pronouncements of words were changed and the readers interpretation of characters was different from previous ones. This bothered me throughout the story but I persevered.

Different Performance

I don't know who decided to change the narrator 3/4 of the way through the series but they should be staked out somewhere with a sunflower. At least make the new narrator listen to the previous novels so he gets his pronunciation the same.

The change is jarring to say the least.

Changed narrator from previous novels...terrible

I didn't like the narrator. made Acolyte sound goofy,and Tunesmith sound like a cross between robotic and a infomercial host. Louis Wu was ok.
The Hindmost wasn't melodic or feminin sounding at all.

I enjoyed the story , not the narrator.

I am saddened by this audiobook. I am sure the story is just as fantastic as all the other Ringworld books. The story tellers voice is just awful it’s so monotone that it puts me to sleep. He also mispronounces all of the names and other terms in the book. His voice reminds me of the teacher announcing roll call on Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I fear the only way to actually enjoy what I know will be a fantastic book will be to read a print version of it. I hope they decide to re-record this audiobook with the narrator of the rest of the series.

Very disappointed in Narrator’s voice.
