Rendevous with Rama

Just read the SciFi book for the second time in 30 years.
By the Arthur C, Clarke, famouslly known for: 2010, A Space Odyssey.
Even though that date was not met, he is a great SciFi writer.

I'm sure that a picture-book version is available for illiterate
morons like the noTroll of the Missoura hill country.

Yes, it's a very good book.
I would not suggest you read the next 3 (Rama II ---)
As they were really written by Gentry Lee,
and are very different in style.

famouslly known for: 2010, A Space Odyssey.
Even though that date was not met, he is a great SciFi writer.

Actually, the first of that series was titled
"2001 a Space Odyssey", and the second was "2010: Odyssey Two".
Both were quite good.
"2061 Odyssey three" was OK.

You might enjoy "The Hammer of God" or
"Songs of Distant Earth".

*** Just starter Rama II and Songs of distant Earth is already
on the Kindle.
Clark also was the person who had a hand in predicting the
Synchronous orbit at around 22K, where most communications
satellites are parked.

More than a hand. He originated the idea. Wrote it up in 1945.

because you have to point at each word and sound it out.

It's another one of those occasions where you slap your
forehead and say "why didn't I think of that" ... the guy's a
genius.

As I recently wrote elsewhe
Arthur Clarke regularly has professional, sane, trained people going
about their assignments to explore some of the greatest things humans
could ever find.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous_with_Rama

Then came, "Rama II" by Gentry Lee (& silly credit to Clarke).
Whacko, egotistical, jealous, greedy, back-stabbing, murderous,
mutinous losers, that could not get past any reasonable
employee screening process, get sent off in charge of one of
humanities greatest endeavors.
Not even a proper chain of command!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rama_II_(novel)
I could only, with great pain push on, to cover 177 pages.

A quote about it:
"Books in the series
Clarke paired up with Gentry Lee for the remainder of the series.
Lee did the actual writing, while Clarke read and made editing
suggestions.[9] The focus and style of the last three novels are quite
different from those of the original with an increased emphasis on
characterisation and more clearly portrayed heroes and villains, rather
than Clarke's dedicated professionals. These later books did not receive
the same critical acclaim and awards as the original."
