About this listen
The sequel to Rendezvous with Rama: the only SF novel to sweep all SF awards and one of the best sellers of all time.
In 2130, an alien spaceship, Rama, entered our solar system. The first product of an alien civilisation to be encountered by man, it revealed many wonders to mankind; but most of its mysteries remained unsolved.…
Sixty-six years later, a second approaching spacecraft was detected; four years on, the Ramans are definitely returning. But this time, Earth is ready. And maybe now, with the arrival of Rama II, some of the questions posed by Rama will at last be answered.
Arthur C. Clarke was born in Minehead, in 1917. During the Second World War he served as an RAF radar instructor, rising to the rank of Flight-Lieutenant. After the war he won a BSc in physics and mathematics with first-class honours from King's College, London. One of the most respected of all science-fiction writers, he also won Kalinga Prize, The Aviation Space-Writers' Prize, and The Westinghouse Science Writing Prize. He shared an OSCAR nomination with Stanley Kubrick for the screenplay of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was based on his story, The Sentinel. He lived in Sri Lanka from 1956 until his death in 2008.

There’s more?!!!
Although having technical and historical rants I did not quite understand, this was an amazing work. There is a real sense of ethical and moral dilemma in the story as well as cloak and dagger skullduggery. The Shakespeare robots were a hoot.

Over cooked
Narration over done.
All the voices very annoying.
Why not just get actors & present a radio play.

Narration is great, story is terrible
The same narrator for Rendezvous with Rama continues to be awesome for this sequel. It must have been hard for him though because the sequel, the story itself is terrible. The tone of the story has changed from great classic sci-fi in the first book, to trashy unintelligent reality tv drama for the second. After googling reviews of the book to see if I should bear with it, continue to suffer beyond chapter 7, where I’m already hating it, I’ve confirmed I won’t finish it. I’m off to find decent sci-fi to replace this book.

Not a book about Rama
After Rendezvous with Rama..this was a flop. I was intrigued by the first book and look forward to more.
The second book is not written by Arthur C Clarke and it shows. Nor is it about Rama, but the supposedly professionally selected crew. So if melodrama is your thing go for it.
I gave up after 20 chapters.

Not as good as Rama 1
If you want a story on exploration of Rama II, fast forward almost 4 hours. The story slowly gets better as it progresses, I found myself skipping chapters to get to the heart of the story, Rama

waste of time and money
I am dropping out of this after 12 chapters. A sequel to Rama in name only.
I expected a follow on from the classic original,but got a soap opera.
I feel cheated.
