The Garden of Rama
Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee
Trapped aboard the massive Raman spacecraft as it leaves Earth's solar system, three cosmonauts begin a 13-year voyage toward an unknown destination. Combining the best of space adventure (as the spacefarers encounter other life forms within the multi-habitat vessel) with human drama (as children are born and raised in an unearthly environment), this third novel in the Rama cycle asks as many questions as it answers.
About Author
Arthur C. Clarke is probably the world’s best-known and bestselling science fiction writer; his seventieth birthday in December 1987 was marked by
the unveiling of a plaque at his birthplace in Somerset. He has won innumerable international awards for his fiction, for his science writing, and for his
inspirational role as one of the chief prophets of the space age. His collaboration with Stanley Kubrick on 2001: A Space Odyssey set new
standards for sf films. As the presenter of the TV series Arthur C. Clarke’s Mysterious World and its successors Clarke has become a household
name. He lives in Sri Lanka.
GENTRY LEE has been chief engineer for NASA’s Project Galileo and director of science for the Viking mission to Mars. He was Carl Sagan’s partner in
the creation, development and implementation of the Cosmos television series and was co-author, with Arthur C. Clarke, of Cradle and
