loppear reviewed Rendezvous with Rama (Rama, #1) by Arthur C. Clarke
helps to know the sequels are worse
2 stars
A promising opening of mysterious object and dry elder academic panel bickering.... oh don't let this be just a cool exploration of the physical properties of this space... in space... with bonus tangential misogyny... oh, the physical properties and some cold-war-commentary at least accelerate... pity for the futuristic anachronisms, 1973 feels closer to Jules Verne than to us.
