Hardcover. NY, Ballantine/Del Rey, BC Ed., 1987, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 237 pages. A science fiction novel by Larry Niven. Like much of Niven's work, the story is heavily influenced by the setting: a gas torus, a ring of air around a neutron star. There is no "ground" in the Smoke Ring; it is a world consisting entirely of sky. Thus, most animals can fly, even the fish. It is a sequel to The Integral Trees. Blacked out price on front fly leaf, otherwise clean, tight copy.
