Editorial Review:Decades have passed since Commander Norton and his crew met with the enormous alien ship dubbed Rama and declared it an intelligent robot with no interest in the creatures of our solar system. But now another ship has been sighted near Earth, and this time, humanity will discover startling--perhaps deadly--differences.

I read the first chapter of Rama II, and it became immediately obvious to me that Clarke didn't write it. Instead of introducing any science-fiction ideas, it is a propaganda piece about the author's views on economics (government spending will ruin the economy) and abortion (it's good for holding down the population of minority groups). It sounded like something by an Ayn Rand disciple, which Clarke definitely isn't. Either Clarke did not write the novel, or he cared so little about the book ... Read More

I'm astonished at all the horrible reviews this book got. Frankly, I don't think it deserves that treatment. I read a LOT of sci-fi...I mean a LOT...it's pretty much all I read.

As many other reviewers have said, this book doesn't seem to have actually been written by Clarke - if it had, it wouldn't be the steaming pile of poo that it is. Rendezvous with Rama was good if not great - but everything that made it thought-provoking has been abandoned in this sequel. I kept reading thinking that somehow it had to get better, because it couldn't get much worse. But then it did....
Even for free, it's not worth it.

I have not read a lot of fiction in my 59 years, but this past year I have read quite a variety. I purchased Rama I, II and IV, believing I had the series. Having just finished Rama II, I got online to find Rama III, and I was blown away by the moaning, groaning and gnashing of teeth that you one- and two-star reviewers have spewed forth on the post Rama I issues(as I also looked at your reviews of Rama III).
Possibly, I suffer from a view through rose colored glasses in that I have only ... Read More
