Man has also colonized several outer space locations, including Mercury, the Moon, Mars and several other moons. Set a few hundred years in the future, Earth has created a monitoring agency for asteroids after a large one has crashed into the Earth. Out of all the award winners I’ve read, this book was closest in plot and style to Ringworld by Larry Niven, however I enjoyed this book even more as the pace was very brisk and Clarke built excellent suspense despite little action.
Clarke tells a classic story of first contact with an alien presence, but makes it entirely original by changing the location of the meeting to an outer space vessel that is possibly abandoned. Much like The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov, Rendezvous with Rama is an excellent throwback science fiction novel by a master of the genre.
