What is Fleet of Worlds: 200 Years Before the Discovery of the Ringworld (Known Space, 2) about?

This first of five novels in the Niven/Lerner "Fleet of Worlds" series, FLEET OF WORLDS is a prequel to Larry Niven's bestselling classic RINGWORLD and is set in his celebrated "Known Space" universe, 200 years before the discovery of Ringworld. For over 500 years, humans colonists have been toiling on one of the alien Puppeteer's satellite worlds, informed by their strange two-headed masters (first introduced by Niven in RINGWORLD) that the Puppeteers -- or Citizens, as they call themselves -- rescued the colonists' ancestors from certain death. When the Citizens discover that a chain reaction at the galaxy's core has released lethal waves of radiation, they flee, along with their satellite planets, including the one holding the human descendants. Kirsten and a few other select humans, under the watchful eye of the Puppeteer Nessus, are then sent on an exploratory journey. During this trip, Kirsten and others discover that the "history" they were taught about their ancestors and their alien masters is far from the truth. A rebellion ensues. "Niven, winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula awards, and Lerner (Probe) offer a lively prequel to Niven's 1970 classic, Ringworld." - Publishers
