Clarke collaborated with Gentry Lee in writing several Rama sequels, beginning with Rama II. Rendezvous with Rama is fast moving, fascinating, and a must-read for science fiction fans. Rama's unsolved mysteries are tantalizing indeed. But who, and where, are the Ramans, and what do they want with humans? Perhaps the answer lies with the busily working biots, or the sealed-off buildings, or the inaccessible "southern" half of the enormous cylinder. Interpersonal conflicts among crew members begin prior to the launch date. Its arrival is expected, and on Earth the chosen crew of twelve readies for the voyage to unlock more of Ramas mysteries. From the ubiquitous trilateral symmetry of its structures to its cylindrical sea and machine-island, Rama's secrets are strange evidence of an advanced civilization. Seventy years after the events of Rendezvous with Rama, a second Raman vessel enters the Solar System. The astronauts given the task of exploring the hollow cylindrical ship are able to decipher some, but definitely not all, of the extraterrestrial vehicle's puzzles.
