The Smoke Ring by Larry Niven (1987) is a thrilling continuation of the Integral Trees series, set in an extraordinary zero-gravity world where a torus of breathable air orbits a neutron star. The story follows the descendants of the original crew stranded in this unique environment, as they struggle to survive and explore the complexities of their world. Niven’s imaginative setting, filled with floating trees and constantly shifting dynamics of life without gravity, provides the backdrop for political intrigue, survival challenges, and scientific discovery. Known for his hard science fiction, Niven once again delivers an adventurous tale with fascinating world-building and compelling characters.
