2061: Odyssey three Arthur C Clarke

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-recieved an invention with and equally successful sequel. 2010 odyssey two enthralled a huge audience worldwide. Now in 2061 odyssey three, Arthur C Clarke revisists the most famous future ever imagined, as two expeditions into space are inextricably 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 Bownman, 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.
