Hardback: 8" x 5¼". Condizione: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Cover Art: Peter Elson (illustratore). 1st UK Edition. © 1983: 1st in the 'Integral Trees' series of books. 1st UK edition, 1st printing. Originally serialised in 4 parts in Analog Science Fiction / Science Fact - October, November, December 1983 & January 1984:- Synopsis: For a long, long time the State used slower-than-light spacecraft to prepare star systems for colonization by Man. Normally the ramseeders travelled centuries-long circuits which began and ended at Earth. Normally, the mixed crew of citizens and 'corpsicle' convicts remained with their ship. Normally ultimate control of the mission was exercised by a built-in cyborg 'adviser', the true despot of the tiny State microcosm that was the ship. But little happened normally when Discipline reached the double-star system of T3 and LeVoy's Star. There an immense doughnut-shaped gaseous envelope had formed around a neutron star - and a vast volume of that nearly empty cloud was comfortably habitable to Man. Though it had very little usable land, the Smoke Ring had evolved a huge variety of free-fall life-forms, most of which were edible and all of which could fly. The Smoke Ring seemed a paradise to the restless crew of Discipline and so they fled to it, leaving behind only the ship's cyborg cop. Five centuries passed, and most of the mutineers' descendants forgot about the humans, and somewhere, just outside the Smoke Ring, he waited:- Review(s): "Rich in detail and packed with adventure, 'The Integral Trees' demonstrates once again Larry Niven's matchless ability to create new worlds and to rekindle our sense of wonder" / "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 one 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 waiting for!" / "The best work yet by one of the best in our business, 'The Integral Trees' is the most imaginative work I've seen in the last five years" - Jerry Pournelle:- (original cost £8.95).
