Rengasmaailma
Rengasmaailma on amerikkalaisen Larry Nivenin arvostettu ja palkittu pääteos. Tässä romaanissa tiivistyvät science fictionin perusarvot, hurja tieteellinen spekulointi ja pidättelemätön seikkailuhenki, ja Niven onnistuu harvinaisella tavalla yhdistämään ne laadukkaaseen ja realistiseen ihmiskuvaukseen.
Romaanin päähenkilöt ovat muistettavia ja kuuluvatkin tieteiskirjallisuuden yhteiseen folkloreen mutta sen todellinen keskipiste on silti tapahtumapaikka, uskomaton Rengasmaailma itse. Rengasmaailma on pinta-alaltaan mittaamaton ja jo pelkkänä ajatusrakennelmana hätkähdyttävä eikä suinkaan vailla todellista tieteellistä pohjaa, sillä se pohjautuu englantilaisen fyysikon Freeman Dysonin jo vuosikymmeniä sitten julkistamiin teorioihin.
Rengasmaailma on huikaiseva matka mahdollisen äärirajoille ja heijastaa kirjailijan vankkaa uskoa ihmisen ja teknologian rajattomiin mahdollisuuksiin.

Fleet of Worlds: 200 Years Before the Discovery of the Ringworld (Known Space1)
Humanity has been faithfully serving the Citizens for years, and Kirsten Quinn-Kovacks is among the best and the brightest of the humans. She gratefully serves the race that rescued her ancestors from a dying starship, gave them a home world, and nurtures them still. If only the Citizens knew where Kirsten's people came from.
A chain reaction of supernovae at the galaxy's core unleashes a wave of lethal radiation that will sterilize the galaxy. The Citizens flee, taking their planets, the Fleet of Worlds, with them.
Someone must scout ahead, and Kirsten and her crew eagerly volunteer. Under the guiding eye of Nessus, their Citizen mentor, they explore for any possible dangers in the Fleet's path―and uncover long-hidden truths that will shake the foundations of worlds.

Juggler of Worlds: 200 Years Before the Discovery of the Ringworld
For too long, the Puppeteers have controlled the fate of worlds. Now Sigmund is pulling the strings...
Covert agent Sigmund Ausfaller is Earth's secret weapon, humanity's best defense against all conspiracies, real and potential - and imaginary - of foes both human and alien. Who better than a brilliant paranoid to expose the devious plots of others?
He may finally have met his match in Nessus, representative of the secretive Puppeteers, the elder race who wield vastly superior technologies. Nessus schemes in the shadows with Earth's traitors and adversaries, even after the race he represents abruptly vanishes from Known Space.
As a paranoid, Sigmund had always known things would end horribly for him. Only the when, where, how, why, and by whom of it all had eluded him. That fog has begun to lift...
But even Sigmund has never imagined how far his investigations will take him - or that his destiny is entwined with the fates of worlds.

Destroyer of Worlds: Known Space Vol. 3 (käytetty pokkari)
Worlds closer to the galatic core than Known Space are --or were-- home to intelligent speciers. Some learned of the core explosion in time to flee. Destroyer of Worlds opens in 2670, ten years after Juggler of Worlds closes; with refugee species fleeing in an armada of ramscoops in the direction of the Fleet of Worlds. The onrushing aliens are recognized as a threat; they have left in their trail a host of desolated worlds: some raided for supplies, some attacked to eliminate competition, and some for pure xenophobia.
Only the Puppeteers might have the resources to confront this threat--but the Puppeteers are philosophical cowards... they don't confront anyone. They need sepoys to investigate the situation and take action for them. The source of the sepoys? Their newly independent former slave world, New Terra.

Burning Tower
The people of Tep's Town are desperate. Monstrous invaders have emerged from the desert, and people are being slaughtered. Danger on the roads means no trade. No trade means that Tep's Town itself will die.
The fire god Yangin-Atep has retreated into myth, leaving the town's residents unprotected for the first time in its history - and they now face an army of fearsome birds with blades for wings, consumed by an inexorable lust for blood. Lord Sandry and his beloved, Burning Tower, must travel far beyond the walls of their home to discover the origin of these terror birds. They enter a world where magic is still strong - and someone or something has been waiting to destroy them ...
