6: Rendezvous with Rama, by Arthur C. Clarke
Although not among the most known books, the “Rama” series has captured the imagination of its readers for its hard-science fiction approach to the first contact theme, while simultaneously proving able to reach a bit further, in imagination and wonder, than Sagan’s “Contact”.
The first book in the series is a gripping puzzle which slowly unfolds its secrets, some of which deadly, to the confused explorers who first set foot on this gigantic and ominous spacecraft. The slow but constant revelation of new clues which lead, or mislead, to one discovery after another is sure to put you in a compulsively page turning relationship with this novel. No wonder it’s a trilogy plus one final book titled: “Rama Revealed”.
