Synopsis

Arthur C. Clarke’s 2061: Odyssey Three is truly a masterful elaboration on one man’s epic vision of the universe.

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 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 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.

About The Author

Arthur C. Clarke has long been considered the greatest science fiction writer of all time and was an international treasure in many other ways, including the fact that an article by him in 1945 led to the invention of satellite technology. Books by Clarke—both fiction and nonfiction—have sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide. He died in 2008.

3.5/5 Estrellas Estamos en 2061, 50 años después de lo acontecido en la 2ª entrega, en la que por acción de la inteligencia que está detrás de los monolitos, se había creado un nuevo sol en el planeta anteriormente llamado Júpiter, que fue rebautizado como Lucifer.

Goodreads review by María on December 02, 2020

De los tres libros que he leído de esta saga este es el que menos me ha gustado. La historia, aunque me ha interesado, ha llegado a aburrirme en algunos momentos y la he encontrado algo pesada y monótona. A pesar de esto sigo bastante intrigada con el tema del monolito y con todo lo que queda sin res......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on July 20, 2016

Jos jedna ineresantna knjiga prepuna originalnih ideja i lepih scena (citav deo oko Halejeve komete je izvrstan) ali sve ukupno ipak ostavlja daleko slabiji utisak nego prethodne dve. Jednostavno mi nekako fali na osecaju velicine, monumentalnosti. Ka SF roma je odlican ali mi je nekako suvise konve......more
