Cross John Carter of Mars with a sentient scaled-down Ringworld and you get John Varley's Titan. Frankly, I like the Titan series much better than the Ringworld series. Varley doesn't get sidetracked with inter-species sex to the extent that Niven does. And the smaller size makes the story fit better to the surroundings.

There are two more books in the series, but you can read this one as a standalone. (Although I recommend reading all three.)
