Amazing story. I love Clarke's creativity and his references to real astronomical topics.
This checks off alot of my requests for a story. Science, the plot moves along no stalling or sidetracking, no confusion when switching between multiple story lines, and characters that have depth and personality.
This book is a decent continuation of the Monolith story but it feels incomplete. We learn more about Europa after a forced landing by Galaxy is caused by what appears to be a terrorist act but that gets wrapped up without much talk about potential motivations other than possible greed. Heywood Floyd is back and ends up going to be a part of the rescue as he happens to be on Galaxy's sister ship, the Universe. You get some bits about his life since 2010 and he reconnects with his grandson but that's about it. Not much else that I can really say other than it's a quick read but not a huge progression in the story.
