I'm glad you've enjoyed the series. <br /><br />But if, post Known Space, you've found yourself at a loss for things to read, feel free to try any of my solos ;-) Including the InterstellarNet books, if you are into series.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />- EdEdward M.

I felt like any response to this question belonged in a public space for future reference vs. in a private email.<br /><br />Also, apologies if this has been covered elsewhere:<br /><br />It's been approx. 9 years since Fate was released and I've finally finished it (I held off until re-reading all other Known Space material and still couldn't bear to read it for a long time due to finality of it all). Are there any plans at all between you or Niven to do a follow-up/spin-off/anything else in the KS universe?<br /><br />* spoiler alert here probably *<br /><br /><br /><br />I'm mostly dying to know more about the insights that Baedeker and Ol't'ro (and Tunesmith of course) learned about hyperspace physics and how they are able to accomplish the incredible things they've done within a singularity (or even <i>with</i> the singularity I suppose). The descriptions contained in <i>of world</i> and <i>Ringworld's Children</i> cover what it *looks like* but not so much the *how*.<br />Obviously I know it's all fictitious anyway, but it's one thing to speculate about it and another to have the brilliant and spectacularly creative writers themselves invent the concrete details that the characters discover.<br /><br />Regardless of the answer, thanks for the efforts you (and Mr. Niven) put into this series. It is very much appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />NickEphemeralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00566436669575141211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4672881018321440403.post-21997733975620197252017-07-28T09:40:24.730-04:002017-07-28T09:40:24.730-04:00Thanks for your note, Neil.

A gap of years in between reading this and the final Ringworld Books means I do believe I need to re-read all of Known Space now!
