| | Rendezvous with Rama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A movie based on this novel, starring Morgan Freeman and slated to be directed by David Fincher, was in development for Freeman's company Revelations Entertainment, but was later abandoned. |
 | | It is often believed that Lee did most of the actual writing of the sequels, as the focus and style are very different from those of the original novel. |
 | | The initial search program that detects Rama in the first two chapters of the book, Project Spaceguard, is a program to detect near-Earth objects on Earth-impact trajectories, initiated after a fictional disastrous asteroid strikes Italy on September 11, 2077, destroying Padua and Verona, and sinking Venice. |
