Title: Utter Rubbish... With Some Redeeming Qualities!
Review: Rama was great. This wasn't. It spent too much time going over and over what had happened in the previous chapters and even the previous book. Sure some reflections and reminders were required but surely not on every page! This book should have focussed on Maria's encounters with the Octospiders, but Lee's lack of forsight prevented that. On the plus side there were some excellent creatures with interesting lifecycles presented that provide moments of compelling reading. Actually this book does show that there was a lot of loose ends left at the end of the Rama. Lee would do well to write a collection of short stories tying up those loose ends as well as the ones in this story. The novel wasn't very satisfying, but it was interesting (except for the repetitive bits). Buy this if you brought the first and the Rama novels but don't expect a sense of overwhelming relevation. It just doesn't happen.
