Plot summary
The novel's plot is largely concerned with the so-called Fringe War. All the intelligent species of Known Space are interested in the Ringworld. In the novel, they engage in a Cold War of sorts (actually begun in the previous novel, The Ringworld Throne) on the fringe of the Ringworld star system.
gollark: Humans have dedicated language processing brain areas, however.
gollark: Why did Syl engage *now*?
gollark: Syl is experiencing "nostalgia".
gollark: Anyway, syl density is quite low so it's fine.
gollark: Fascinating. However, we mostly worry about sapient/sophont rights, not mere sentient ones.
