In spite of the title,
this is not a dish of death by chocolate ice cream. In some what stereotypical Niven
fashion, a starship comes upon an
immense artifact (ala Ringworld) on their way to explore a new planet.
The artifact is a
shipstar, no typo, a ship being powered by a star full of new sights, strange
creatures and great adventure. In spite
of the comparison to Ringworld, the book isn’t just Ringworld warmed over. The premise is somewhat similar but it ends
there.
There are three groups
of protagonists as the story plays out.
Each group has it’s own flavor and message. The story stops somewhat abruptly and lets
you know there is more to come.
I enjoyed it.
I recommend it.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
