Publisher's Summary
The sequel to Rendezvous with Rama: the only SF novel to sweep all SF awards and one of the best sellers of all time.
In 2130, an alien spaceship, Rama, entered our solar system. The first product of an alien civilisation to be encountered by man, it revealed many wonders to mankind; but most of its mysteries remained unsolved.…
Sixty-six years later, a second approaching spacecraft was detected; four years on, the Ramans are definitely returning. But this time, Earth is ready. And maybe now, with the arrival of Rama II, some of the questions posed by Rama will at last be answered.
Arthur C. Clarke was born in Minehead, in 1917. During the Second World War he served as an RAF radar instructor, rising to the rank of Flight-Lieutenant. After the war he won a BSc in physics and mathematics with first-class honours from King's College, London. One of the most respected of all science-fiction writers, he also won Kalinga Prize, The Aviation Space-Writers' Prize, and The Westinghouse Science Writing Prize. He shared an OSCAR nomination with Stanley Kubrick for the screenplay of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was based on his story, The Sentinel. He lived in Sri Lanka from 1956 until his death in 2008.

Good, but Low signal to noise ratio
Very engaging, but too much characterisation. ACC fans will feel this as a marked deviation from their expected style. I remember being bored in several chapters with the long life stories of the characters. Unfortunately it is difficult to flip through pages in an audio book. So one just needs to endure the long passages.
But thankfully the science fiction picks up soon enough, and the story becomes great again towards the end.
The star of the book is the simply fantastic narration by Toby Longworth! What an amazing voice with the ability to switch accents so beautifully!
