Summary
At first, only a few things are known
about the celestial object that astronomers dub Rama. It is
huge, weighing more than ten trillion tons. And it is hurtling
through the solar system at inconceivable speed. Then a space
probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It
is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft.Space explorers and
planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first
encounter with alien intelligence. It will kindle their wildest
dreams...and fan their darkest fears. For no one knows who the
Ramans are or why they have come. And now the moment of
rendezvous awaits - just behind a Raman airlock door.Includes
an exclusive introduction by Hugo Award-winning author Robert
