About this listen
Years after the appearance in the solar system of the immense, deserted spaceship, Rama, a second craft arrived, destined to become home for a group of human colonists. But now the colony has become a brutal dictatorship, terrorizing its own inhabitants. Nicole Wakefield, condemned to death for treason, has escaped to New York. There she is reunited with her husband, but pursuit is not far behind and they are forced to flee to the subterranean corridors of New York inhabited by the menacing octospiders. So begins the greatest adventure of the Rama cycle, a story of massive scope and extraordinary revelations.
Arthur C. Clarke was born in Minehead in 1917. During the Second World War he served as an RAF radar instructor, rising to the rank of Flight-Lieutenant. After the war he won a BSc in physics and mathematics with first class honours from King's College, London. One of the most respected of all science-fiction writers, he also won Kalinga Prize, The Aviation Space-Writers Prize and The Westinghouse Science Writing Prize. He shared an OSCAR nomination with Stanley Kubrick for the screenplay of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was based on his story, 'The Sentinel'. He lived in Sri Lanka from 1956 until his death in 2008.

At first, only a few things are known about the celestial object that astronomers dub Rama. It is huge, weighing more than ten trillion tons. And it is hurtling through the solar system at inconceivable speed. Then a space probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft. Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence.

Welcome to Ringworld, an intermediate step between Dyson Spheres and planets. The gravitational force created by a rotation on its axis of 770 miles per second means no need for a roof. Walls 1,000 miles high at each rim will let in the sun and prevent much air from escaping. Larry Niven's novel, Ringworld, is the winner of the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmars, an Australian award for Best International Science Fiction.

Great book to finish the Rama journey.
I really enjoyed this last book in the series. Fantastic story, with a great vocal performance, and good pacing to the story. You learn so much. Thumbs up.

SUPERB !!!
The entire rama series is amazing. I wasn't sure that I was gonna like it in the beginning of the second book as the vibe changed so much but it came around pretty quick and by the end of Rama revealed I was so satisfied.

Dated yet visionary
If you enjoy Science fiction that manages to bring you deep into the minute life moments of the characters in the story, while at the same time creating the counterpoint to literally the ultimate meaning of it all, then this might be for you.
Expect to be disappointed in humanity, yet marvel at its nuances.
You will have to overcome the sometimes incredibly cringy dated way in which the female characters are clearly representations of how A.Clarke, a man of the mid-20th century, assumed Women of the future would experience their own existence. Ie. In a mirrored form of mid-20th century values.
However, the (literal) world building beyond this is extraordinary, and without bias.
Stay away if you are looking for a typical story arch with triumphant protagonists, and space battles.
This will stay with me for some time.

The vast scale of this story.
This book, the third in the Rama series, is a truly captivating tale of epic grandeur. Fantastically written and superbly read.

Incredible Journey
This series of book is often separated in two between the first Rama book and the new Rama series. In the first book we witness an enlightened hyper-competent, rational but flawed humanity, a humanity that we'd aspire to be.
While the new books are about current or 1990s humanity, grimy, greedy, ignorant, irrational but with inspiring outliers and it's quite a shock at first, especially the incredible incompetency of many of the new astronauts but I think this reset does payoff in nuanced storytelling and variety of characters.
Even tough some clichés and sudden pairings of characters for future conflict are sometimes quite jarring, the writting tough dipping on the second book does pickup in the later books.
The linchpin of appreciation of the new series for first book readers in my opinion, really depends on how much they will like the new protagonist and the intensity of their curiosity.

Did not enjoy it at all.
I enjoyed the first book but the following 3 were very hard to complete. I kept thinking it would get better but it never did. I believe too much time was spent on what the characters were thinking and their dream sequences. it distracted from the story. I actually found myself skipping sections.
