Floyd üzerinde kesinlikle kontrol sahibi olamayacağı olaylar hakkında endişelenmemeyi bir kural haline getirmişti; herhangi bir dış tehdit, zamanı geldiğinde ortaya çıkacak ve o zaman halledilecekti. Ancak merak etmekten kendini alamıyordu: Gemileri korumak için mümkün olan her şeyi yapmışlar mıydı?

           I enjoyed the suspense that this book evoked, but it fell short near the end, when everything worked out find. Regardless, it was a fast read that I thoroughly enjoyed

The celebrated author continues his Space Odyssey with this Hugo Award winner: “A daring romp through the solar system and a worthy successor to 2001” (Carl Sagan). In 1968, Arthur C. Clarke’s bestselling 2001: A Space Odyssey captivated the world and was adapted into the classic film by Stanley Kubrick. Fourteen years later, fans and critics were thrilled by the release of 2010: Odyssey Two. Nine years after the ill-fated Discovery One mission to Jupiter, a joint Soviet-American crew travels to the planet to investigate the mysterious monolith orbiting the planet, the cause of the earlier mission’s failure—and what became of astronaut David Bowman. The crew includes project expert Heywood Floyd, and Dr. Chandra, the creator of HAL 9000. What they discover is an unsettling alien conspiracy tampering with the evolution of life on Jupiter’s moons as well as that of humanity itself. Meanwhile, the being that was once Dave Bowman—the only human to unlock the mystery of the monolith—streaks toward Earth on a vital mission of its own . . . “Clarke deftly blends discovery, philosophy, and a newly acquired sense of play.” —Time “2010 is easily Clarke’s best book in over a decade.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune
