2001: A Space Odyssey shocked, amazed, and delighted millions in the late 1960s. An instant book and movie classic, its fame has grown over the years. Yet along with the almost universal acclaim, a host of questions has grown more insistent through the years, for example: who or what transformed Dave Bowman into the Star-Child? What alien purpose lay behind the monoliths on the Moon and out in space? What could drive HAL to kill the crew? Now all those questions and many more have been answered, in this stunning sequel to the international bestseller. Cosmic in sweep, eloquent in its depiction of Man's place in the Universe, and filled with the romance of space, this novel is a monumental achievement and a must-read for Arthur C. Clarke fans old and new."A daring romp through the solar system and a worthy successor to 2001."Carl Sagan

Po nadrobieniu zaległości w dziedzinie klasyki, jaką bez wątpienia była „2001. Odyseja kosmiczna” głupio tak by było porzucić ledwo napoczętą serię. Dlatego też bez większej zwłoki najpierw obejrzałem film, który jednak był pierwowzorem dla książki, a następnie rozpocząłem lekturę kolejnej części. J...
The book was really good. Reading this was as if a revision of things i learnt about space long time ago. Loved the way the worlds are described and the way ship was maneuvered around IO and Jupiter.
A rescue spaceship, Leonov with the USA, Russian and Indian cosmonauts is launched toward the Jovian satellite IO where they would save the abandoned ship the Discovery from the collision with the IO. The Chinese ship, Tsien wants to be the first. They planned a trick, they first went to the Europ...
With 2010, Arthur C. Clarke's ability to write interesting, believable, and likable characters has improved dramatically, particularly compared to the cardboard cutouts from Rendezvous with Rama, and the similarly bland characters (with the exception of HAL) from 2001. The book also does a great job...
