The sad but epic conclusion to the Rama series did not disappoint. ( ) The final book in the series alternates between fascinating new insights into other alien civilisation and less interesting himan intrigue. The book is a blend on style between book 2 amd 3. It is still a worthwhile read but careful analisys reveals many plot inconsistencies, the book is much closer to fantasy than hard sci-fi. Being the completist that I am I had to read this last and final installment of the RAMA series and after the Garden of Rama I was not hopeful that it was going to be a good ending. Boy was I surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Yes, there was a fair amount of fluff in the story with respect to reminiscing over what has happened in the past, but which great series does not do this, and it does have some appeal in terms of validating that we as the reader have walked the steps besides the book's protagonists and it also helps for folks who have questionable memories like I do. So yes, a whole lot of the book is devoted to the alien species and their biology's but this was also an enjoyable aspect of the story for me. The message was clear that the human race left to its own devices will self-implode and end in disaster and that humans may not be the most developed species in the universe and how would we deal with that eventuality. The ending does lead more to philosophical questions about the meaning and beginnings of life, the universe and yes off course GOD but there were only a few pages dedicated to this at the very ending. Overall, I believe that I enjoyed the Rama series and I look forward to the movie which I believe is in development phase as I write this review. Todo comenzó con Cita con Rama, de Arthur C. Clarke, el maestro de la moderna ciencia ficción. Ahora, tras Rama II y El JardÃn de Rama, el ciclo llega por fÃn a su dramático desenlace. Años después de la aparición en el sistema solar de las misteriosas naves Rama, una tercera nave espacial dotada de un hábitat terrestre casi perfecto arribó a la órbita de Marte para convertirse en el hogar de dos mil colonos humanos. Aunque bautizada originalmente como Nuevo Edén, esa colonia interestelar fue degenerando con el tiempo y se ha convertido en una brutal dictadura que asesina a sus pacÃficos vecinos y aterroriza a sus propios habitantes. En ese clima de crimen y persecución, Nicole Wakefield, condenada a muerte por traición, logra escapar y atravesar el Mar CilÃndrico hasta llegar a una isla de enormes rascacielos que los humanos llaman Nueva York. Allà le esperan sus amigos y también sus familiares. Pero la persecución no ha concluido. En realidad, no ha hecho más que empezar. In my opinion, this was by far the best of the sequels. They start by doing exactly what I wanted out of the middle two books: getting away from the human settlement and into a situation where they are learning and experiencing something strange. In this case, they go to live among the octospiders, an intelligent civilization highly skilled in genetics and biological science who are completely deaf and only speak in color. It's a fascinating and nicely thought out situation and I did like it. Even when, halfway through the book, the focus shifts back partially to the rest of the human colony in Rama, it still maintains a tight focus, with the bigger scale events going on behind the scenes. There was still a particular feel of exploring how different societies deal with issues (such as war: the octospiders view all war as terrible, not just certain kinds). The final section, when the return to another Node felt a little strange. Either because it was rushed or because it felt sort of artificial. I didn't particularly mind though, since it still was working out echoes of events from all of the previous books and acted as a sufficient capstone to the series. I did think it was nice that Michael and Simone make another appearance, even if the latter replied her mother's odd fixation with a two person continuation of the species. At the very end, the book veers somewhat towards a philosophical / religions tangent, which felt a little odd (the Ramas are essentially God) but still thought provoking. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this book. If you made it through the middle two books, you should probably read this one as well.
Only readers who are genuinely curious about the nature of the Rama enterprise and the mysterious intelligences behind it will find reason to struggle through this inert narrative. Premi e riconoscimentiMenzioni
