Editorial Review:
Product Description:
"A daring romp through the solar system and a worthy successor to 2001."
*Carl Sagan
Nine years after the disastrous Discovery mission to Jupiter in 2001, a joint U.S.-Soviet expedition sets out to rendezvous with the derelict spacecraft *to search the memory banks of the mutinous computer HAL 9000 for clues to what went wrong . . . and what became of Commander Dave Bowman.
Without warning, a Chinese expedition targets the same objective, turning the recovery mission into a frenzied race for the precious information Discovery may hold about the enigmatic monolith that orbits Jupiter.
Meanwhile, the being that was once Dave Bowman *the only human to unlock the mystery of the monolith *streaks toward Earth on a vital mission of its own . . .
"Clarke deftly blends discovery, philosophy, and a newly acquired sense of play."
*Time
"2010 is easily Clarkes' best book in over a decade."
*The San Diego Tribune

If you liked 2001 A Space Odyssey, then read 2010 Odyssey Two...a very worthy successor. One of the more intriguing science fiction novels I think one could imagine...yet conceivable!

I am writing a review for the movie under the book category because although I bought the DVD of the movie from Amazon years ago the DVD seems to be no longer available. I read the book too which is also good but I strongly recommend that you find the DVD too from somewhere and watch it.
If you watched 2001 A Space Odyssey and liked it you are very likely to like 2010 the year we make contact as well, which like 2001 is also based on the novel by Atrhur C. Clarke. If you haven't watched ... Read More

Even though it was difficult to understand, "2001: A Space Odyssey" was a superb movie. It introduced many unusual twists on space flight, extra-terrestrial intelligence and the relationship between humans and intelligent machines. This book is a worthy extension of that story, answering many of the questions raised in "2001", yet generating many more in the process.
In this sequel, it is determined that the orbit of Discovery is decaying rapidly and the planned U. S. mission to the spacecraft ... Read More

Another great read. Couldn't put it down. There are some continuity inconsistencies (in the 2001 the Discovery was abandoned at Saturn, but in 2010 it is found orbiting among the moons of Jupiter) but Clarke maintained that each of the four odyssey books takes place in a parallel, yet slightly different, universe.

Years ago I read 2001 and recently decided to re-read it and follow up with the rest of the series. 2010 does not follow exactly from 2001. I am not going to give anything away, but if you are a purist and want utter consistency you will be perturbed. The book is an easy read, the character development is pretty good, but what keeps your interest is the plot. Even as we approach 2010 you can't help but think what if...
