The Overlords appeared suddenly over every city - intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior to humankind. Benevolent, they made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. With little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began.

From the savannas of Africa at the dawn of mankind to the rings of Saturn as man adventures to the outer rim of our solar system, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a journey unlike any other.

Histoire
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco, the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some twenty years earlier the United States lost a war - and is now occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan.

Histoire
A Fire Upon the Deep is the big, breakout book that fulfills the promise of Vinge's career to date: a gripping tale of galactic war told on a cosmic scale. Thousands of years hence, many races inhabit a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures and technology can function.

Histoire
On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all.

Description
Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence. It will kindle their wildest dreams...and fan their darkest fears. For no one knows who the Ramans are or why they have come. And now the moment of rendezvous awaits - just behind a Raman airlock door.
BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction by Hugo Award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer, who explains why Rendezvous with Rama will make the listener "feel both humbled and exhilarated at the same time".

An all-time Favourite
"Rama" was the first book by Arthur C. Clarke that I read as a young teenager. Many others followed. I love Imperial Earth, Childhood's End and the Songs of Distant Earth, but Rama remains my favourite. I only wish Robert Sawyer had continued from the foreword right into the story. Instead, my ears were assaulted by a monotone drone. Even the computerized voices of voicemail directories have more charisma. The only redeeming quality were some of the accents. Pity for such a great book.

Great story but the narrator is monotone
I enjoyed the story but the narrator is so monotone and so slow that I had to stop listening because I found it too boring. I came back a few months later and enjoyed the story a lot more when I bumped the speed up to 1.5x and the story actually seemed to move forward.

A classic!
I read this classic every couple of decades and now have listened to it. Although I wish I could read again for the first time — to experience the ending afresh — I love how Clarke reveals the story and paints such vivid mental pictures of this new world.

OK story, robotic reader
The book premise was great, but the reader was so monotonous that it was hard to believe it wasn't a bot voice. The story had two token women being smart, but the casual sex and sexism used to "humanize" the captain was quite pathetic. Women shouldn't be allowed in space because the weightlessness made them "too distracting"? Puleeze. I found it interesting enough for a "listen once", but I won't be picking it up again.

Classic sci fi
One of the greatest megastructure stories.
Not for you if you love characters, but the grand plot of humanity and its reactions makes up for it.
Performance was fine. Adequate if not super memorable.
Recommended to those interested in the Canon of popular science fiction.

A sober, sterile, and highly plausibl story
Rendezvous With Rama focuses on the arrival of a large, extrasolar spaceship into the Sol system. It is a sober, sterile, and highly plausible exploration of exploration. Almost devoid of personal conflict, I've read few books that so neatly debunk the theorem that concept is the most important element in science fiction.
