*chuckle* I hope you're not aiming this recommendation at Nathan. He knows as well as anyone how the Halo works; he used to head the development team.
The Halo is not a "Ringworld"-style ring. Instead of encircling the sun, it's relatively small (about earth-size) and orbits a gas giant.
Iain Banks' Culture novels have been credited as the primary influence on the game, much more than the Ringworld series. Good reading though the latter is.
