About the Book
Only rarely does a novelist weave a tapestry so compelling that it
captures the imagination of the entire world. But that is precisely
what Arthur C. Clarke accomplished with 2001: A Space Odyssey.
It
is even more unusual that an author is able to complement so
well-received an invention with an equally successful sequel. But
Arthur C. Clarke's 2010: Odyssey Two enthralled a huge audience worldwide.
Now, in 2061: Odyssey Three,
Arthur C. Clarke revisits the most famous future ever imagined, as two
expeditions into space are ihextricably tangled by human necessity and
the immutable laws of physics. And Heywood Floyd, survivor of two
previous encounters with the mysterious monoliths, must once again
confront Dave Bowman – or whatever Bowman has become – a newly
independent HAL, and the power of an alien race that has decided
Mankind is to play a part in the evolution of the galaxy whether it
wishes to or not.
