Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke

5.0

---

This is my shit right here you guys. Most of Rendezvous With Rama is devoted to the exploration of an enormous alien ship, its strange nature and fantastic proportions demanding a meticulous effort. It's rare to find a sci-fi or fantasy novel that doesn't eventually succumb to the tempation to continually raise their stakes, and I sometimes feel like the tendency shows a lack of confidence in the initial story setting. Clarke knows better -- exploring an immense, unknowable and impossibly powerful spacecraft is story enough.
