This book follows Fleet of Worlds but there may be books in
between. Sigmund Ausfaller appears
again in this book. He was a Puppeteer
paranoid in earlier books. He is yanked
out of known space by Nessus as a buffer or "wild" human to protect
the now separate colonists. The PAK are reintroduced to the story line and the
focus of the story is the avoidance of the PAK.
This is a very similar cast to the Fleet of Worlds with the
exception of the PAK and Sigmund who have populated previous Niven books. The Gw'oth are a newly found, rapidly
evolving species who play a large part in the changes that occur in this
book.
If recollection serves me, Sigmund was an implacable foe of
the Puppeteers in earlier books but he is now tempered by a wife and
children. Lots of action, scary foes and interesting
technology.
I recommend the book.

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