Description: Click to see full description List: 1 - Rendezvous with Rama.doc 2 - Rama II.doc 3 - The Garden of Rama.doc 4 - Rama Revealed.doc Sir Arthur Charles Clarke (born 16 December 1917) is a British science-fiction author and inventor, most famous for his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, and for collaborating with director Stanley Kubrick on the film of the same name. Clarke is the last surviving member of what was sometimes known as the "Big Three" of science fiction, which included Robert A. Heinlein and Isaac Asimov. Rendezvous with Rama is a novel by Arthur C. Clarke first published in 1972. Set in the 22nd century, the story involves a thirty-mile-long cylindrical alien starship that passes through Earth's solar system. The story is told from the point of view of a group of human explorers, who intercept the ship in an attempt to unlock its mysteries. Rescue Party (1946), the first published story of Clarke, also has a cylindrical alien spaceship with kilometer scale dimensions. Rendezvous could be an elaboration of that ship. Another of Clarke's short stories, Jupiter Five (1953), is very similar to this novel in style, as well as content. This novel won both the Hugo and Nebula awards upon its release, and is widely regarded as one of the cornerstones in Clarke's bibliography. It is considered a science fiction classic, and is particularly seen as a key hard science fiction text. Rama II is a novel by Gentry Lee and Arthur C. Clarke first published in 1989. It recounts humankind's further interaction with the Ramans, first introduced in Rendezvous with Rama. Written primarily by Gentry Lee, Rama II has a distinctly different writing style than the original, with a more character driven narrative and a closer-to-contemporary mindset, ambience and human relations than the first novel's utopian social assumptions. Rama II is the first novel of the "new" Rama series, as Rendezvous with Rama is not always counted as part of it. The Rama series comprises two more sequels: The Garden of Rama and Rama Revealed. The Garden of Rama (1991) is a novel by Gentry Lee and Arthur C. Clarke. It is the third book in the four-book Rama series: Rendezvous with Rama, Rama II, The Garden of Rama, and Rama Revealed, and follows on from where Rama II left off. Rama Revealed (1993) is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee. It is the last of three sequels to Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama by these authors, and as the title suggests reveals the mysteries behind the enigmatic Rama spacecraft.   Links:  Download instruction    Title Links Password Size (MB) Thank to Del 2536 Book http://rapidshare.com/files/52256579/39B... books_for_all 1,20 book_worm X 2568 Mirror http://mihd.net/qyzr65... books_for_all 1,20 book_worm X Title Link Password Size (MB)   Related books:  Arthur C.
