About this ebook

A modern science fiction classic, Larry Niven's Ringworld won the Hugo and Nebula Awards for best novel in 1970. Now this SF classic is adapted into a thrilling manga adventure by Robert Mandell and Sean Lam.

In Ringworld: The Graphic Novel, Part One, two-hundred-year-old human Louis Wu is recruited by a two-headed alien named Nessus to join him, a catlike warrior alien named Speaker, and the infinitely lucky human Teela Brown to explore an alien artifact.
They find a Ringworld, a ribbon millions of miles long built around a distant sun. The civilization has fallen into savagery, though, and after crashing into the Ringworld, Louis must come up with a clever plan to get back to known space, hundreds of light years away.

Ratings and reviews

I bought this after reading the book. Hoped it would add to my already potent visual interpretations. Ehhh, not so much... Its a bit juvenile, with cartoonish interpretations that are often times simply inaccurate to the book. Im not convinced the artists were true fans... Its not horrible, but frankly a bit weak visually.

So all my family and friends can blame him for the love I have for these types of books .Lol . This is a fascinating story full of adventure,danger and much , much more...

I wanted the original book without pictures. Want my money back. This is a rip off and is for people who can't read
