Title: Buy something else
Product review: If you like Clarke, do not buy this book or you will be disappointed. If you have not read Clarke before, do not buy the book or you will think that all his novels are like this. There is very little of sci-fi; most of the book delves in the past life of the characters, trying to demonstrate that all of them have some sort of childhood trauma. The Sci-fi part lacks punch, and there is nothing "scary" about the world menace. Do not waste your money; buy something else (Rendezvous with Rama and Songs of Distant Earth for example).
