A review by rhalinuviel
Rama II by Arthur C. Clarke

5.0

I am continually fascinated by Clarke's ability to have a very technologically oriented story line that is still full of very human characters. Rama is an incredible invention; I was disappointed that we didn't learn more of the beings who created the ship(?) and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I was so moved by the bittersweet ending; the only fault I can find with the plot is that I think Nicole would not have embraced the decision to stay on Rama and given up so easily on getting back to her teenage daughter on Earth. But that's me speaking as the mother of a young child. ACC, a male scientist who neither married nor had children of his own would naturally have seen it differently.
