“Rendezvous with Rama has established itself since its publication in 1973 as one of Arthur C. Clarke’s all-time bestselling novels, and as a classic of modern science fiction.  It is the only sf novel ever to scoop all the major awards.
It told of the arrival in the solar system in the year 2140 of a mysterious, apparently untenanted alien spaceship, and by the end of the novel – when Rama departed to its unknown next port of call – many wonders had been uncovered but few of its mysteries had been solved.  One thing seemed clear, though: everything the enigmatic builders of Rama did, they did in threes… Rama II is set in 2200, four years after a second approaching spacecraft has been detected; and this time, knowing what to expect, Earth is ready to mount an expedition which may answer some of the questions posed by Rama.  This long-awaited sequel is as brilliantly imaginative as its predecessor.”
