A review by hotsake
2061: Odyssey Three by Arthur C. Clarke

3.0

This was an interesting hard science fiction story that lacked character development or a really engaging plot. The strangest part of this novel which for the most part is an exploration/rescue mission story that only starts to tease at a less mundane story in the final two short chapters. If this book was written today this would've in a bridging .5 novel as it seems to only exist to set up the next novel 3001 and to tie it to 2010. So 2001 would be book 1, 2010 Book 2, 2061 Book 2.5, and 3001 Book 3.
