	Rama II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rama II is a novel by Gentry Lee and Arthur C. Clarke first published in 1989.
		Rama II is the first novel of the "new" Rama series, as Rendezvous with Rama is not always counted as part of it.
		Rama II brings new characters into a new story arc mostly unrelated to the original and largely is a setup for its own sequels.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: Rendezvous with Rama / Arthur C. Clarke
		Christened Rama, the object is a massive cylinder, rotating rapidly on its central axis.
		Then there is the additional nuisance of a thermonuclear warhead that has been fired at Rama by the paranoid colonists of Mercury, who incidentally haven't bothered to give the astronauts aboard enough advance notice to clear out in time.
		Rendezvous with Rama is about exploration and discovery, and the way in which, even if solid answers are not always found, such discoveries change the course of our history forever.

	Review - Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke
		Rama- a metallic cylinder approaching the sun at a tremendous velocity.
		In Rendezvous he speculates about what would happen if an obviously alien creation was found to be travelling on a course that would take it through our solar system.
		A hastily arranged exploration party is sent to investigate Rama and finds that it is devoid of life (or is it) but I won't say too much otherwise there's no point reading it.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - Anyone waiting for Rendezvous With Rama?
		Rendezvous With Rama is by far the most anticipating movie for me ever.
		Rama II and the two sequels, are, in scale and complexity, exponentially bigger than Rendezvous with Rama, and I don't think any studio would bet on a gamble like this one.
		While a Rama series would be awesome, it would be a very hard adaptation.

		Rendezvous with Rama is a disappointing game based on Arthur C. Clarke's classic sci-fi novel of the same name.
		As captain of the ship, your task is to dock with and explore Rama, a huge alien vessel complete with large cities and strange mechanical inhabitants.
		Interactions with your crew and other characters, however, are minimal, and most of the time you will be staring at vast areas of Rama that are depressingly devoid of life.

		Rama will be ground breaking and possibly even record breaking in its digital effects.
		Rendezvous With Rama the movie promises to be a "hard" science fiction film filled with tension, action, thrills and above all else, a profound sense of wonder.
		Brick's adaptation of Rendezvous With Rama is filled with these kinds of visual epiphanies, like when the ice breaks across the Cylindrical Sea, or the first appearance of the Biots, or the first glimpse of Rama as the Endeavour approaches Jupiter.

		Rendezvous With Rama is a colossus of Science Fiction, by The Colossus of Science Fiction.
		I selected "Rendezvous With Rama" as one of the novels for my first Science Fiction class as an example of the "hard science" sub-genre of the field even though it is admittedly atypical.
		The other three books were co-written by Clarke with Gentry Lee and essentially they answer the questions raised by "Rendezvous With Rama." However, I liked the way this novel ended, with the explorers convinced the glass was half empty at best because of their inability to understand everything they found inside Rama.

		Introduced in Clarke's 1973 Hugo- and Nebula-winning Rendezvous with Rama and most recently seen in Clarke and Lee's Rama II, the massive spacecraft Rama is back, but the luster and sense of wonder generated by its first appearances have eroded.
		In Rama II, the authors had to slow down a little, as they had to introduce a new set of characters, rediscover the old set, and populate a world (not easy tasks!).

		Penned in 1973 by sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke, the book Rendezvous with Rama is about to become a movie and is set for release sometime in 2003.
		A deep-space probe sent to investigate then reveals the unthinkable; Rama is no natural object but an interstellar spacecraft from an alien civilisation.
		Attempts to communicate by conventional means from Earth fail and, with their imaginations fired, a team of space explorers are sent from earth on board the spaceship Endeavour to try and establish contact.

	Rendezvous With Rama review
		In addition, RWR is also headed for the big screen, helmed by none other than David "Seven / Fight Club" Fincher and reportedly starring Morgan Freeman.
		RWR has also been turned into two games: a 1996 offering from Sierra and Telarium's 1984 game, which is today's subject.
		RWR isn't a disaster - far from it - and had it been released by most other companies, it would be a decent adventure.

	Rama Review and Walkthrough
		From what I remember from the books, the Rama game seems to be loyal to the basic storyline and ideas introduced in the series, particularly in the depiction of the alien lifeforms living inside the Rama spacecraft, and the general geography of the place.
		Rama is covered under Sierra's usual return policy - if you felt you got a lemon, your loss is limited to your postage and insurance costs in returning the game.
		A significant characteristic of Rama is its randomization of play components, affecting inventory item locations, the timing of animation sequences, a few puzzles, and certain destination locations in the central plains.

		Inside Rama, an entire ecosphere is discovered, complete with air, weather, buildings, and even gravity simulated by centrifugal force that the ship generates through constant spin upon its axis.
		But Rama seems to be a dead ship; there are no life forms aboard her, and there are no signs that life has stirred aboard her for thousands, if not millions, of years.
		As Rama nears the Sun, however, she begins to come to life, and her explorers and the human race as a whole struggle to discover the mystery of her arrival.

		An all-time science fiction classic, Rendezvous with Rama is also one of Clarke's best novels--it won the Campbell, Hugo, Jupiter, and Nebula Awards.
		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.
		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.

	IGN: Rendezvous with Rama, Slowly But Surely
		March 18, 2003 - It's been months since we heard anything on the Rendezvous with Rama project, which is already two-and-a-half years in the making.
		Clarke's Rama, the first of a trilogy of novels, is set in the not-so-distant future; it's an interesting tale about a gargantuan, alien cylinder that is detected entering the solar system, prompting a special exploratory operation by astronauts from several countries.
		The book is not at all a fast-paced action story, but rather a character study of the mission's participants and how they react to the wonders inside the cylinder.

		Rendezvous with Rama is an excellent story, and the movie could turn out terrific, but it's only a starting point for a much bigger and more exciting storyline explored in the next 3 novels.
		Also, while "Rendezvous With Rama" was a good read, it really didn't have that mindblowing of a plot.

		An all-time science fiction classic, Rendezvous with Rama is also one of Clarke’s best novels—it won the Campbell, Hugo, Jupiter, and Nebula Awards.
		I like how much of what is inside Rama is never really understood by the explorers or the reader.
		The reader, like the explorers themselves, feel like the mission to explore Rama is somewhat of a failure since there was so much left unexplored and unexplained.
