Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

"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 . . .



"Clarke deftly blends discovery, philosophy, and a newly acquired sense of play."

*Time



"2010 is easily Clarkes' best book in over a decade."

*The San Diego Tribune --This text refers to the Paperback edition.


Ingram

This sequel to 2001: a space odyssey answersthe questions left by its predecessor. Captain Chandler investigates the lapse in Hal's sanity and the disappearance of Dave Bowman. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars an okay sequel, Jun 12 2009
This review is from: 2010: Odyssey Two (Mass Market Paperback)
If you were left baffled by 2001 this is worth a read. You might not get all your answers, but it will help shed some light on some of the mysteries surrounding the monoliths. The conclusion is pretty huge and worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Once again, a great sci-fi Master triumphs!, Jun 22 2004
This review is from: 2010: Odyssey Two (Mass Market Paperback)
With this sequel to "2001", Arthur C. Clarke proves, yet again, why he is at the top of his game. This work, bringing back Heywood Floyd, along with a group of new characters, along with the evolved Dave Bowman and the monolith once again catapults us into the fantastic. This book is on my shelf along with: Stranger in a Strange Land", "Puppet Masters", "Foundation", "2001", "2010", "Rendezvous with Rama", "Ringworld", all the "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" books, as well as books as new to the genre as "Advent of the Corps" and others.

4.0 out of 5 stars What's up with EPCOT?, May 10 2004
By Sarah Sammis "Avid BookCrosser" (Hayward, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: 2010: Odyssey Two (Mass Market Paperback)
In this case, I'd say that the film is better than the book. I have a few complaints about the book. It bothers me that Clarke caved to the plot of the movie, 2001, and removed the whole bit about going to Saturn from Jupiter. It leaves his first book standing alone. Books and movies diverge all the time and he should have just stuck to his original storyline for the sequels.

My second complaint: what's up with the EPCOT retirement home? It's a completely hokey idea and distracting from the overall flow of the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best SF book I have ever read
Although, it is part of a sequel, anyone could read it in the beginning.

It's a great story and very well-written.

And the ending is superb - with a philosophical touch. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than 2001
This book was much better than 2001! It did take saturn out of the storyline, but that actually made it more interesting. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A better book and movie
Clarke and Kubrick tried to make "the proverbial good science fiction movie" in 1968. It's hard to argue with success--the movie made a bundle, as did the book. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely worth reading
I have read 2001: A Space Odyssey and, of course, had to read the sequel. This book was written like 15 or so years after its prequel and its not the same. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A good followup
Despite the introduction of new material and mind-boggling imaginings there is no way this sequel can top the original. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as 2001!
After reading 2001, the greatest science fiction master piece ever, I was afraid of not having my expectations fulfilled in this sequel. But 2010 eventually did it. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as ( in some ways better than) 2001
2010 is one of the rare cases where the sequel is almost as good as the original - in some ways it is even better.

There are some quibbles of course. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Great depth but not near 2001

4.0 out of 5 stars Are to stories better than one
2010 odysse Two is good for to reasons. It has to stories in one. The story of the star child David Bowman and the crew of the spaceship LEONOV. But that is also its downfall. Read more
