Rendezvous with Rama + Rama II Bundle
Rendezvous with Rama, by Arthur C. Clarke. New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1973. Science Fiction Book Club (BCE) With sequel: Rama II, by Arthur C. Clarke. New York: Bantam Spectra, 1989. Science Fiction Book Club (BCE)
The winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards for Best Novel, Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama chronicles mankind's first encounter with a true alien spacecraft in the early 2130s. When the massive, kilometers-wide ship dubbed 'Rama' enters our solar system, human scientists set out to investigate. They discover the makings of another world: foreign technological systems, alien plant life, and even strange drones that appear to be a blend of biology and robotics. Praised for his believable representations of highly-advanced science, Clarke is careful and precise in accounting for the mechanics of space and time, without sacrificing the beauty of his language. Rendezvous with Rama is a fantastic exploration of the dichotomy between man's deep curiosity and his chronic fear of the unknown.
Rendezvous with Rama is in very good+ condition, and Rama II is near-fine. Both dust jackets are very good, with some slight wear to the edges. Overall the pair is in outstanding shape.
