2010: Odyssey Two
1 journaler for this copy...
I bought the complete set (2001, 2010, 2061 and 3001) in a library sale shortly after we moved to Canada...and reading them kept me sane during our whole househunting and settling in period. Now that the dust has settled I've discovered them again and may need to re-read them (in my calmer state!) before I let them go.
But they were everything I'd anticipated and more on so many levels.
From Amazon:
Nine years after the disastrous Discovery mission to Jupiter in 2001, a joint U.S.-Soviet expedition sets out to rendezvous with the derelict spacecraft *to search the memory banks of the mutinous computer HAL 9000 for clues to what went wrong . . . and what became of Commander Dave Bowman.
Without warning, a Chinese expedition targets the same objective, turning the recovery mission into a frenzied race for the precious information Discovery may hold about the enigmatic monolith that orbits Jupiter.
Meanwhile, the being that was once Dave Bowman *the only human to unlock the mystery of the monolith *streaks toward Earth on a vital mission of its own . . .
