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.

To survive, he must locate the control center of the legendary engineers who built the planet.

James's great adventure begins with a simple thing — a rustic cabin in the countryside. Charmed by the prospect, he decides to leave his stressful city life behind and move into the woods. But country living isn't boring. There's a quaint town nearby with kind folks who still help each other out. Maybe the bubbly blonde storekeeper has a job or two for James? And let's not forget the magical legacy waiting for James, tracing back through the history of his family.

Story
One sunny August afternoon, the residents of Cedar Close throw their annual summer barbecue. Children play in the cherry-tree lined street, tables are laden with food, and the wine is flowing. For Laurie Mills, it’s her first time meeting the neighbours. And it’s the first time she discovers her husband, Robert, is having an affair. Cedar Close has always been a nice place to live - a quiet suburban street where everyone looks out for one another and bad things don’t happen. Until late one evening, when Robert Mills is found dead in his bedroom.

A real "page turner"
Reviewed: 07-24-24
Excellent if you like this type of novel but not for everyone. Heavy on psychology light on action.

Reviewed: 07-10-24
An interesting story but diluted by too much grunting & groaning scenes of struggle.

Zany pointless escapism. A vacation from your thoughts
Reviewed: 07-03-24
This has just enough situation & characters to hold one's attention and the action while totally impossible is still imaginable enough to hold your attention. It's an excellent diversion to take your mind on vacation from your thoughts.

Mostly irrelevant rambling

There is a kind of story but it's buried within a great deal of rambling detail narrative that is uninteresting.
