Title: The FINAL odyssey, I hope
Review: As sad as this may sound, I would have expected better from a first-time hack writer. This is hardly ACC at his prime; the plot was utterly contrived, consisting of little more than a repeat of chapters from the previous three books with some glue in between. As an attempt to add some suspense, the reader is treated to an ending worthy of Hollywood: the Monolith becomes the villain of the story, with our heroes involved in a gratuitous battle to save Earth. The deus ex machina solution, of course, consists of one (1) supercomputer virus, Jeff Goldblum, and a Powerbook. Wait - I must have confused this with Independence Day.This series has definitely reached a new low point with the 3001: Final Odyssey. I do not relish the thought of yet another literary atrocity, just in case the publishers are even contemplating a sequel. Avoid at all costs.
