“This is a space trip that no reader will want to miss.”—Playboy Years ago, the enormous, enigmatic alien spacecraft called Rama sailed through our solar system as mind-boggling proof that life existed—or had existed—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, sensational—and perhaps even deadly. “Offers one surprise after another.”—The New York Times “A masterpiece . . . one of the year’s best hard SF epics.”—The Houston Post

Le deuxième volume d'une saga de science-fiction intrigante mais qui ne tient malheureusement pas toutes ses promesses, ou du moins tous mes espoirs.

Stopping at chapter 16.

This books has been melodramatic and racist so far. It's spent 110 pages setting up the characters and unfortunately all of them suck. And the science hasn't been enough to keep my attention. Might come back to it, might not. We will see.
