That amazing cover by Dean Ellis accurately illustrates a scene from the book.

Larry Niven's Protector - In the Known Space series, taking place between World of Ptavvs and A Gift from Earth. The first half is a modification of the novella "The Adults" from Galaxy June 1967. Lucas Garner (from World of Ptavvs and the "ARM" stories) appears in this part. This is the story of an alien who comes to the Solar System and kidnaps a Belter: Nick Brennan. Only this isn't really an alien - he's a precursor to humanity, come to reclaim a lost colony... You need to read this if you want to make sense of any of the sequels to Ringworld. Protector was a nominee for Hugo for "best novel" in 1974.
