A review by wendyh65
Betrayer of Worlds by Edward M. Lerner, Larry Niven
4.0
This is the story of Louis Wu and how he came to be mixed up in the Fleet of Worlds' business. If you've read the Ringworld series, you'll already know of him; I hadn't, so he was completely new to me and that was fine. Nessus brought him in to find Louis' stepfather, who we've met before in this series - but it turned out to be not-that-easy, of course.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, go and read the three books in this series that come before it - I think it's pointless reading this book on its own, and it will make much more sense if you've got that history behind you.
Like the others, it's not a long read at just under 400 pages. I recommend it! Might have to go and dig out the four Ringworld books published in the 1970s now, and see what all the fuss is about - it sounds interesting. Niven has never disappointed me.
