Summary: The sequel to 2001: a space odyssey, this story continues the saga of the mysterious black monoliths. In this case, the story focuses on the crew that was sent to retrieve the Discovery.
Comments: I feel like I've forgotten important details from the first book, but other than that, I enoyed the book immensely. Clarke weaves an excellent story full of complex yet believable characters, an exciting story that leaves one wanting to know what will happen to the aforementioned characters. And also leaves questions to be answered in the third and fourth books. But just large questions. The lives of the characters get neatly wrapped up. In some ways, this reminds me of the Time Odyssey trilogy, with its alien minds up to something that remained to be identified until late in the last book.
