A Hard Sci-Fi Megastructure Novel of Human Colonies, Alien Enclaves, and Social Collapse
Continuing the iconic Rama saga, former astronaut Nicole des Jardins, Richard Wakefield, and their children are trapped aboard the colossal alien vessel Rama II as it leaves the solar system. Decades pass as Earth dispatches a colony starship carrying 2,000 human settlers to populate a designated human habitat zone inside the vessel, named New Eden.
As the human colony grows inside Rama's interior cylinder, political corruption, crime, and xenophobia infect New Eden. When human military factions launch an unprovoked war against neighboring alien enclaves, Nicole's family must flee across the Cylindrical Sea to avert total destruction.
Why You’ll Love This Book
Grand Master Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee expand the Rama universe with deep social drama, alien ecology, and hard science fiction worldbuilding. Essential reading for fans of Greg Bear, Larry Niven, and Alastair Reynolds.
