Good Sequel. Answers questions, asks more. It's a good scifi read from one of the masters of the genre

FROM THE PUBLISHER
"A daring romp through the solar system and a worthy successor to 2001."
*Carl Sagan
Nine years after the disastrous Discovery mission to Jupiter in 2001, a joint U.S.-Soviet expedition sets out to rendezvous with the derelict spacecraft *to search the memory banks of the mutinous computer HAL 9000 for clues to what went wrong . . . and what became of Commander Dave Bowman.
Without warning, a Chinese expedition targets the same objective, turning the recovery mission into a frenzied race for the precious information Discovery may hold about the enigmatic monolith that orbits Jupiter.
Meanwhile, the being that was once Dave Bowman *the only human to unlock the mystery of the monolith *streaks toward Earth on a vital mission of its own . . .

A fitting sequel, though a little disjointed, since it carries on where the movie left off. A gripping, quick read.
One of the most amazing books I've ever read!!
I really look forward to reading the next books and watching the films.
One of the greatest surprises were the parallels that can be drawn to so many modern pieces of science-fiction, the Mass Effect trilogy being just one.
Arthur C. Clark really outdid himself, and I like it even better that 2001, even if there were a few inconsistencies.
