A few odd spots to the reverse of the dust wrapper. Light edge wear to the dust wrapper, resulting in a couple of small closed tears. Very light fading to the head and tail of the spine. Denis’ vision for Rama felt completely aligned with Arthur’s wishes, so we are confident that teaming with our producing partners Andrew and Broderick at Alcon is the right next step in. It will be adapted soon by Denis Villeneuve, who also did, Dune, Arrival, And Bladerunner 2049.

That said - and may it help you, or anyone with the same question, decide - while I don't fully agree with her ultimate assessment, I do also understand where Cassandra's answer comes from.Cloth. It is the last of three sequels to Clarkes Rendezvous with Rama by these authors. Then again, I'm a Clarke fan and I'm willing to set aside my personal interest in people and their internal goings-on to read his work (which arguably deal with people in a wholly different way, and on different levels, than many other novels). However, I didn't at all dislike the rest of the novel. While Rendezvous with Rama was a hard science fiction, the sequels fell squarely on the soft side, focusing mostly on societal conflicts amongst humans trapped aboard the vessel, which is a muti-species zoo. That's perhaps the part that David's answer calls, 'politics and drama' and that goes to show that two people actually do seem to like the sequel even for two different parts. I'm glad to have read it for the imagining of how society reacted (and changed) after the rendezvous with the initial Rama craft alone. While Lee doesn't add much to Clarke's rather flimsy characterisations, it still contains a lot of thought-provoking material. (I had wanted to leave it at that word, but the answering form wouldn't let me.) It is not that bad. If such a thing had happened once, it must surely have happened many times in this galaxy of a hundred billion suns.
