![]() I couldn’t tell you anyone’s name off the top of my head, though. There are a plethora of characters, including the crew that explores Rama and a council of scientists trying to figure out what’s going on. Unfortunately, not much else sticks out to me about Rendezvous. I really enjoyed this aspect of the novel. ![]() As there are no hints to aid the reader, I found myself genuinely worried in a few scenes, thinking that some catastrophe or jump scare was about to happen. This novel is entirely driven by the suspense of wanting to understand Rama’s purpose. I felt like I really could be climbing through Rama with the other explorers and awed by the Sea. Nothing about the ship reveals information about who built it, or why it includes features such as the Cylindrical Sea or its numerous “cities.” The physical descriptions make up the most interesting parts of the novel. ![]() The object, known as Rama, is some kind of ship, exquisitely designed and easily navigable by humans. Maybe this is why there are three more books in the series.) In Rendezvous, a large, foreign space object appears on a trajectory to enter the solar system, and an expedition is sent out to see if they can learn anything about the object’s origins, purpose, or creators. Clarke’s Space Odyssey series, I considered taking a little break, but I decided to take advantage of kindle unlimited’s wealth of Clarke’s works until my limited trial of the service ends. ![]()
