Summary:
When 2001: A Space Odyssey first
shocked, amazed, and delighted mil-
lions in the late 1960's, the novel was
quickly recognized as a classic. Since
then, its fame has grown steadily among
the multitudes who have read the novel
or seen the film based on it. Yet, along
with almost universal acclaim, a host of
questions has grown more insistent
through the years.

• Who or what transformed Dave
  Bowman into the Star-Child?
  What purpose lay behind the
  transformation? What would
  become of the Star-Child?

• What alien purpose lay behind the
  monoliths on the Moon and out in
  space?

• What could drive HAL, a stable,
  intelligent computer, to kill the
  crew? Was HAL really insane?
  What happened to HAL and the
  spaceship Discovery after Dave
  Bowman disappeared?

• Would there be a sequel?

Now all those questions and many
more have been answered. In this stun-
ning sequel to his international best-
seller, Clarke has written what will be
truly one of the great books of the '80s.
Cosmic in sweep, eloquent in its depic-
tion of Man's place in the Universe, and
filled with the romance of space, this
novel is a monumental achievement.

This is fiction in the grand tradition. Be-
side it, even 2001: A Space Odyssey is
mere prologue!
