Our view

“Rama Revealed” ends the four-book Rama sequence by doing what its title promises: explaining the mysterious spacecraft. Written by Arthur C. Clarke with Gentry Lee, it completes the story that began with “Rendezvous with Rama”. Some readers who disliked the middle volumes find this one a welcome surprise; others find it padded and its answers less interesting than the original mystery.
