A Host of Characters
"Louis Wu: human and old, was out celebrating his 200 birthday and is bored, having lived too fully for far too many years. Seeking a challenge, and all to capable of handling it.
Nessus: a trembling coward, a puppeteer with a built in surrvival pattern of non-violence. Except this puppeteer is insane.
Teela Brown: human; a wide-eyed youngster. with no allegiances, experience, or abilities. However with all the luck in the world.
Speaker to Animals: Kzin, large, orenge-furred, and carnivorous. And one of the most savage life-forms known to the galaxy.
Why did these disparate individuals come together? How could they possibly function together?
And where, in the name of anything sane, were they headed?"
Ringworld, Larry Niven, 1970
