  • Ok, but not really that compelling. Especially comparing it to "Rendezvous with Rama", which it has been compared too.

    Not really that interesting. Especially comparing it to "Rendezvous with Rama", which it has been compared to. Too many unbelievable cat fights and distractions. Quite a few dead spots. Interesting scientific conjecture at times, but not worth recommending for me.
