The afterword makes it clear that, although Rendezvous with Rama ends with the most sequel baiting phrase imaginable, it was never intended to be a series. Clarke also makes it clear that he's working with a co-author here (who will go on to complete this series later). Perhaps because of this then, the usual pitfall of a Clarke novel in the lack of characters and characters with depth is here replaced by lots of character drama. Unfortunately it's to the detriment of the book, which despite having an extra 120 pages on the predecessor, feels like it's spinning its wheels through most of the book. Still, there are still some great moments of awe and exploration echoing the original. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:In the sequel to the multi-award winning sci-fi novel Rama, a second Raman spaceship enters our solar system and "offers one surprise after another" (The New York Times). Years ago, the enormous, enigmatic alien spacecraft Rama sailed through our solar system as mind-boggling proof that life existedâ??or had existedâ??elsewhere in the universe. Now, at the dawn of the twenty-third century, another ship is discovered hurtling toward us. A crew of Earth's best and brightest minds is assembled to rendezvous with the massive vessel. They are armed with everything we know about Raman technology and culture. But nothing can prepare them for what they are about to encounter on board Rama II: cosmic secrets that are startling, sensationalâ??and perhaps even deadly. "A masterpiece . . . one of the year's best hard SF epics." â??The Houst No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

in a sense thjs is less original narrative, but in many others a new kind of sci-fi takes hold that is well suited for filming.
We are left at the end with many questions left unanswered, but also some amazing insights. The long beginning which is all background for the characters could be condensed but is useful reference for the politics of what emerges later.
I enjoy seeing how two authors collaborate on a novel like this, and it is fresh to actually be able to recognise their voices so clearly. ( )
