Publisher Description
In the sequel to the multi-award winning sci-fi novel Rama, a second Raman spaceship enters our solar system and "offers one surprise after another" (The New York Times).
Years ago, the enormous, enigmatic alien spacecraft 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.
"A masterpiece . . . one of the year's best hard SF epics." —The Houston Post
Customer Reviews
Rama II
More of a psychological study of characters than sci-fi, at least for the first third of the book, which is where I lost interest and quit.
Meh
So many of the characters are so unappealing and uninteresting to me. And the lengthy explorations into side plots and motivations of these boring characters made this book a dreary read for me. Also, some of the absolute worst mission planning and logistics that I’ve ever seen depicted in fiction.
Tedious. Insufferable.
I gave up a few chapters in. Terrible characters. Needless details and subplots of no interest. This is a poor, poor follow up to the first book. Do not waste your time.
