INTRODUCING THE NEWEST WONDER
OF THE UNIVERSE

In any list of ten great science-fiction writers, four names are always at or near the top: Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein - and Larry Niven, famed for his breadth of vision and the awesome extrapolation of his hard-science novels.

Critics long thought Niven would find it difficult to surpass his Hugo-winning novel Ringworld - the story of an artificial world, a ribbon of unreasonably strong material 1 million miles wide and 600 million miles long...
They were right.

Until now, that is.

In The Integral Trees Niven presents a fully fleshed culture of evolved humans who live without real gravity in the gas torus that rotates about a neutron star.

This is the novel his fans have been awaiting!

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
