Fleet of Worlds Audiobook (Free)

Larry Niven groups up with fellow science fiction writer Edward M. Lerner to have a closer look at the events before Niven’s 1st Ringworld novel.

Kirsten Quinn-Kovacs is one of the very best and brightest of her people. She gratefully serves the gentle competition that rescued her ancestors from a dying starship and nurtures them still. If only the Citizens knew where Kirsten’s people originated from!

A chain reaction of supernovae in the galaxy’s core has unleashed a wave of lethal radiation that will sterilize the galaxy. The Citizens flee, taking with them their planets, the Fleet of Worlds. Somebody must scout ahead, and Kirsten and her staff eagerly volunteer. Under the guiding vision of Nessus, their Citizen mentor, they attempt to look for any feasible risks in the Fleet’s path-and uncover long-hidden truths that will shake the foundations of worlds.
