If so, could someone please cite examples to get me back on track. Louis Wu, himself transformed into a human Protector, and his Puppeteer companion, Hindmost, also escaped from the Ringworld and now seek to reconnect with the political and military situation surrounding the Puppeteer fleet. Sometimes I read so fast that I miss things. The Ringworld itself, launched into hyperspace by supergenius Pak Protector Tunesmith, has vanished. With the advent of the hyperspace shunt, someone should have visited Home. How come I have never seen reference to Home being wiped out by plague (that would be a likely story for the protectors to send to Earth) or reference to protectors on Home (I have not read "Ringworld Engineers" yet and I understand that protectors have something to do with Ringworld). Many years later ("Known Space" time) I believe We Made It buys the hyperspace shunt from the Outsiders. The net result is that you have a planet full of childless protectors. Destroyer of Worlds depicts a confrontation between the Pak and the Puppeteers. The Pak also appear in several of Niven's later novels, notably those set in the Ringworld. After they arrive there, the virus spreads to all members of Home. The Pak first appeared in 'The Adults', which appeared in Galaxy in 1967 this story was expanded into the novel Protector by Larry Niven (1973). Brennan infects Truesdale with the modified Tree-of-Life virus just before they get there. In "Protector" Roy Truesdale seeks out Brennan and they leave Sol for Home with the Pak scouts close behind.
