did.

*Read the first book: Rendezvous with Rama. The rest were written mostly
by Gentry Lee with Clarke acting as the editor and are not, umm, highly
regarded. Rendezvous with Rama would make a good movie if it were done
right.

Yeah, they progressively get "worse" in my opinion.

Yep, I agree.


But then again, I think the same thing happened with this 2001 series. *3001
was very disappointing to me.

I couldn't get past 2051 (was it?) after 2010...


*Other Arthur C. Clarke major works are Childhood's End,

An excellent one.

The City and the Stars, Against the Fall of Night. He will be missed.

I also liked his short story the 9 Billion names of God.

And a star just winked out.

Again, I agree.
