One other author that conjures up such strong images is Larry Niven. Does anybody else have a view on his work?

I always thought Larry Niven wrote so-called "hard" SF, that is, strong on believable techno-science, devoid of impossible illogical or phantasmagorical futures---a very good example Clarke's "2010:Odyssey Two". I enjoyed that one but in general I don't like the sub-genre. I'm very interested that a Vance-phile
likes Niven so I'm going to check him out. I've heard of "Ringworld" so I guess I'll try that unless anybody could kindly
recommend one that might have a better appeal to a Vance lover.
