SYNOPSIS: Only the brilliant mind of Arthur C. Clarke, grand master of the modern imagination and international bestselling multiple winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards, could have created such classic works as 2001: A Space Odyssey, 2061, Rendezvous with Rama, The Songs of Distant Earth, and Childhood's End. Now, with renowned space scientist Gentry Lee, Arthur C. Clarke brings his thrilling, eerie vision to a spine-tingling modern adventure that ranges from the unguessable past to the edge of tomorrow, from the vast ocean of stars to the bottom of the sea. For here, something powerful waits to awaken. Something terrifying that might trigger the dawn of human extinction. Something that's about to be found...Arthur C. Clarke has captivated millions of readers worldwide for more than forty years. Gentry Lee is Chief Engineer of the Galileo Project at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, past Director of Science Analysis and Mission Planning for the Viking Martian probes, and Carl Sagan's partner in the creation, development, and implementation of the Cosmos television series.

Die hard traditional Arthur Clarke fans will probably be put off a bit by the essentialy gratuitous sex details that, in my opinion, do not add significantly to the story development, but seem to have been added to increase sales to a post-1970s American audience. It is almost possible to discern which chapters were written by which author. Except for those distractions, it still very much bears the stamp of Clarke's genius as the seeminghly disparate pieces of this cosmic SF adventure "bolero" come together like seperate trains moving through a switchyard maze to the inevitible collision at the "Aha moment" where it all makes sense. Over all, a very good read.
