Review

"[A] fine...entry into the 'known space' canon...If you haven't read any Niven novels before this one, go listen to Protector and Ringworld first. Then, if you are as enchanted as I was with it, come back to Fleet of Worlds for more. Tom Weiner, who is one of Blackstone Audio's new narrators, previously heard in A Galaxy Trilogy , brings authority to the narrative of Fleet of Worlds."
