Rendez-vous with Rama is going to be a movie directed by Denis Villeneuve! The first book in the Rama series is the most important one of course. However I prefer the later novels co-written with Gentry Lee. RwR still reads and feels like an older Clarke novel. The typical uninteresting Clarkian characters, technology is fascinating, we are one happy human family (well maybe not the Mercurians). Whereas the later novels (1989-1993) feel more like written by a next generation of writers (not sure how much of them was by Clarke himself...). Between novels 1 and 2 in the Rama timeline there was a severe economic crises, even causing the human colonies in the solar system to be abandoned. Human society looks much more grim compared to the first novel and to be fair more realistic. Still the movie will probably be very interesting! There were also two prequel (or inquel) novels written by Lee himself in the 1990s, without Clarke, set in the same Rama universe.

I felt that the three "sequels" to RWR were a huge disappointment...predictable, annoying political correctness slimed it's way in but mostly, they lacked Clark's wit, his ability to intellectually involve the reader and the "just can't put it down" writing style. Sadly, it parallels Hollywood's degeneration from SCiFI space movies that involved the reader with quality writing to today's cheesy tripe replacing intellect and depth with over-reliance on cartoonish special effects and blood, gore and horror.

The huff-snuff punctuation from the reader ruins an otherwise great story. The reader feels rushed. The rest of the Rama series plods along slowly until Nicole pimps out her daughter to her intermediate lover when her husband returns from being lost in Rama for years, with no memory, no food, no water... I can't help but wonder how Gentry Lee's JPL peers viewed him after delivering his near-incestuous storytelling. At best, 50-year-old man sleeping with his lover's 20-year-old daughter, with mom's blessing, is a perversion, possibly an old man's fantasy. At worst, cringe-worthy.
