Ilustration Conducive To Books Rama Revealed (Rama #4)
Along with garden of rama, this conclusion to the story , rama revealed is definetly my all time favorite science fiction saga ever.Even despite some uninteresting soap opera stuff at the begining, the finall 200 pages of this conclusion are the most satisfying conclusion i ever read to a space saga ever.
This book ended and nicole des jardins stuck in my mind for months on end. Everytime i think of good scifi i remember the ending of this story.
Not only garden of rama and this conclusion rama revealed are incredibly imaginative and totally epic in scope and detail, but all is grounded in unforgetable characters that i loved to accompany till the very end.
Rama revealed has some imaginative concepts for a technologic "god"if you want to call it that, while at the same time keeps everything grounded in rhe humanity of the characters.
The rama series are the best spaçe adventure i ever read. I loved the sense of exploration, the hight tech lost world mysteries, not knowing what could happen next and always be rewarded by arthur clarke with more imaginative stuff ahead. And more, and more, and more.
If you like books where you feel you're one of the explorers steping into an alien and fantasy book, then this is or you.
The story is imaginative and does not waste any time pretending to act as a in your face political metaphore or something like. The rama series is pure mystery and imagination with great chatacters and an incredible epic ending.
Instead of using a scifi story to be just a background for a plot that could have been set in any type of novel , genre or enviroment, arthur larke creates a story that wouldnt be the same if it was not just about exploring an alien giant spaceship. The focus here, was really the exploration and arthur clarke really did a magnificent work in taking the reader step by step into that imaginary space world wich is as a good and detailed as anything you ever read in fantasy.
I keep wishing that someone takes these books to be adapted to cinema as good as peter jackon did with the tolkien material so far. In fact...peter jackson, if you're reading this...get this rama book series now please ! ;)
Rama revealed is an extraordinary conclusion.
The only thing similar that can compare to the scale of imagination in this final volume is the works of olaf stapledon, particulary the book, last and first men, which tell the story of humanity over a period of a bilion years.
Arthur larke wrote a forward for one of the editions , and its clear that the rama novels were very much inspired in the best sense by olaf stapleon work.

Everytime i think of good scifi i remember the ending of this story.Not only garden of rama and this conclusion rama(Review applies to 'Rama II, Rama Returns', Rama Revealed', but NOT 'Rendezvous With Rama')In brief, longer review to follow: FUCKING AWFUL. Do not read. Terrible shame, the collaboration with Gentry 'What A Pitiful Hack Writer' Lee has really dragged the original Rama down.
Rama Revealed is the last book in this series and it couldn't have come sooner. Only my loyalty to Arthur C. Clarke carried me this far. It really wasn't worth it but for classic science fiction I suppose I had to do it. The first novel, "Rendezvous with Rama", is excellent. A space craft comes zooming into the solar system, answering the question "Are we alone?" but adds an additional question, "Does anyone care?" In typical Clarke fashion, the author takes us through what might happen if we
The conclusion of this series was a real disappointment. Reading the Acknowledgements following the book's ending I get some perspective on why that is. Apparently the authors haven't had enough ideas about what to write about in this final installment of the Rama series so they have asked readers for suggestions. The attempts at providing a cosmology and a deeper perspective on "God" were extremely weak and flawed. Psychological perspectives remain unconvincing. Ontological discussions which
Extremely disappointed in basically all the sequels. I read Return to Rama a few weeks ago, and should have stopped there. I would have been fine with the unresolved ending of the book if the others didn't exist, it's really a perfect, succinctly written sparse perfect mystery that really should never have even attempted to be resolved. These last two books are terrible, I never liked the characters, agree with some reviewer who said that Nicole just started to bore me after so long. The thing
This is the last of the Rama series. I have to say that in parts I have found this series to be a bit of a slog. The last three books are a lot more character driven and mainly centre around Nicole Wakefield and her family. It also explores human nature and whether we are naturally destructive and place ourselves above other species.(view spoiler)[In this book Nicole and her family go and live with the octospiders. The humans are hunting the octospiders and don't realise they are an advanced
The series finale was more enjoyable than that last two in the series just because most of the background exposition has already been done - although some was repeated here - and this story centered more on the events and interactions of the passengers of the Rama ship. When things started going sour for the passengers I found myself thinking, "no way, people wouldn't act that way." but upon further reflection, yes they probably would.I won't spoil the story, but there are some heartbreaking
