Rendezvous with rama review6/1/2023 Following the first encounter with the Ramans’ mysterious spaceborne cylinder, filled with dazzling vistas, bewildering machinery, and curious semi-organic “biots,” the human race experienced a rush of prosperity and happiness which was only to be followed by turmoil, strife, and global economic collapse. Rama II is set in the year 2200, seventy years after Rendezvous with Rama. Lee had helped realize the late Carl Sagan’s TV phenomenon Cosmos and was a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory working on the Jupiter Galileo probe as its chief engineer. Released sixteen years after Clarke’s quadruple award winner, Rama II was his second collaboration, after Cradle, with Gentry Lee, an author of impressive pedigree. Sequels are rarely as good as their predecessors, and sequels to beloved classics are really fighting an uphill battle.
