The epic that began with the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning classic DUNE continues ...

A sobering depiction of war's brutalities, and the violence and inhumanity that the history books leave out, now relaunched with a stunning new look.

Pierson¿s puppeteers, strange, three-legged, two-headed aliens, have discovered an immense structure in a hitherto unexplored part of the universe. Frightened of meeting the builders of such a structure, the puppeteers set about assembling a team consisting of two humans, a puppeteer and a kzin, an alien not unlike an eight-foot-tall, red-furred cat, to explore it. The artefact is a vast circular ribbon of matter, some 180 million miles across, with a sun at its centre - the Ringworld. But the expedition goes disastrously wrong when the ship crashlands and its motley crew faces a trek across thousands of miles of the Ringworld¿s surface.

Ringworld: the most stunning artifact in known space, an articficial world with three million times Earth's surface area. Who built it? And where are they? In this stunning sequel to Larry Niven's Hugo and Nebula award-winning novel, Louis Wu (now a near-hopeless lirehead hooked on electrical ecstasy), the aged Kzin warrior, Speaker-to-Animals, and the Hindmost, puppeteer mate of mad Nessus, return to Ringworld. Their aim is to prevent cataclysm. IN the process, they find themselves learning Ringworld's incredible secrets...

Krásná mladá dívka Sára, aby unikla z područí despotického otčíma, souhlasí s nabídkou k sňatku od lorda Devenporta, kterého však nikdy neviděla.

Aby se mu pomstila, využije přímluvy své tety a stane se jednou z královniných dvorních dam. Svojí krásou zaujme královnina oblíbence, svého manžela a stane se jeho milenkou. Zamýšlená pomsta však vyústí v hluboký milostný vztah. Jednoduchému příběhu tvoří kulisy poměry na dvoře královny Alžběty, vztah Anglie a Španělska a irský odboj.
