Publisher's Summary
In the year 2130 a mysterious spaceship, Rama, arrived in the solar system. It was huge, but empty - apparently abandoned. By the time Rama departed for its next unknown destination many wonders had been uncovered, but few mysteries solved. Only one thing was clear: everything the enigmatic builders of Rama did, they did in threes.
Eighty years later the second alien craft arrived in the solar system. This time, Earth had been waiting. Now Rama II is on its way out of the solar system. Aboard it are three humans, two men and a woman, left behind when the expedition departed. Ahead of them lies the unknown, a voyage no human has ever experienced; and at the end of it may lie the truth about Rama.
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.

Didn't end in a great spot
I'm going to have to read the fourth book to find out what happened.
It is thought-provoking. And it points the spotlight on the darker sides of our human nature.

Why?
The fake French accent made this book less than enjoyable to listen too. Ordinary English would be much preferable.

skips and repeats in places
not a bad story, and the actor does a good job, but the audiobook skips or repeats in some places.

Hard when compared to modern sci-fi
This book again focuses on characters and is only science fiction in a distant way…

Such a huge world.
Some parts of the story are slow, and the first section (with the female reader) was a bit of a slog, but it was all worth getting lost in.
