You are commander of Discovery, a spacecraft traveling at a hundred thousand miles an hour. Your destination is a planet on the farthest edge of the Solar System. Your companions are a fellow navigator, three deep-freeze hibernauts, and Hal, a chatty computer who ceaselessly guides your course and your life. The mission you undertake through the abyss of space has been set off by a shrieking slab found within the Moon's crater Clavius, left by an alien Intelligence millions of years ago. And you must find It, wherever, whatever, It is."

"Decades have passed since Commander Norton and his crew met with the enormous alien ship dubbed Rama and declared it an intelligent robot with no interest in the creatures of our solar system. In those years the world has undergone dramatic changes - from the wild prosperity immediately following the Raman visit to the cataclysm of the Great Chaos, also spurred by Rama. And then, near the dawn of the 23rd century, a spacecraft is identified hurtling across our solar system. A crew of a dozen is assembled to rendezvous with the massive ship. And mankind has a second date with destiny.
"Some of the best and brightest minds on Earth are assembled to intersect with Rama II . . . but even though the crew is equipped with every piece of information that is known about Raman technology and culture, there is nothing that can prepare them for what they will encounter on board. For while Rama II appears to be much like its predecessor, the crew will discover startling - perhaps even deadly - differences. "

Two multibillion-dollar technologies are tested in a plan to raise the ship that will stun the world and create a media feeding frenzy. The rival CEOs gather together the twenty-first century's most brilliant minds, including Roy Emerson, technical problem solver and the prodigy behind the glass microsphere; computer geniuses Donald and Edith Craig, darkly fixated by the enigmatic mathematical "Mandelbrot-Set;" and the grand old man of deep-water operations, Jason Bradley, pilot of a state-of-the-art high-pressure heliox suit named "Jim." Two adversary technologies under four hundred atmospheres of pressure at the bottom of the ocean. To each of the undersea explorers, the quest to uncover the secrets of the wreck and to reclaim her for all time becomes an obsession. . . and for some, a fatal one."

New York, NY, U.S.A. Pyramid Books 1971 Second Printing Mass Market Paperback Good+ 


Covers a bit creased, corners bumped, slight edge wear. A clean, tight copy.

""The universe is full of voices, calling from star to star in myriad tongues. One day we shall join that cosmic conversation, though it may be ages before we cross the megamegamiles sundering us from our equals, and our masters." Voices from the Sky is the log of a voyage which has only just begun-Man's odyssey from Earth, his first home, among the planets, to the stars, and across the universe. Arthur C. Clarke, distinguished author of such classics as 2001 A Space Odyssey and Childhood's End, has once again created a work of vaulting imagination and dazzling scientific prophecy-the saga of mankind's journey toward a destiny waiting in the far-flung future beyond 2001."
