Rendezvous with Rama -- Arthur C. Clarke

<strong>Astronauts explore an alien spacecraft hurtling toward the sun in this Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel --"a stone-cold classic" of hard sci-fi (<em>The Guardian</em>).<br/><br/></strong>An enormous cylindrical object has entered Earth's solar system on a collision course with the sun. A team of astronauts are sent to explore the mysterious craft, which the denizens of the solar system name Rama. What they find is astonishing evidence of a civilization far more advanced than ours. They find an interior stretching over fifty kilometers; a forbidding cylindrical sea; mysterious and inaccessible buildings; and strange machine-animal hybrids, or "biots," that inhabit the ship. But what they don't find is an alien presence. So who--and where--are the Ramans?<br/> <br/>Often listed as one of Clarke's finest novels, <em>Rendezvous with Rama</em> won numerous awards, including the Hugo, the Nebula, the Jupiter, and the British Science Fiction Awards. A fast-paced and compelling story of an enigmatic encounter with alien technology, <em>Rendezvous with Rama</em> offers both answers and unsolved mysteries that will continue to fascinate readers for generations.<br/> <br/>"Mr. Clarke is splendid . . . We experience that chilling touch of the alien, the not-quite-knowable, that distinguishes SF at its most technically imaginative." --<em>The New York Times</em><br><br><b>Author:</b> Arthur C.
