He will be missed. I truly enjoyed the Rama series. I even played a video game once based on the book. He was a pioneer. Rest in peace, sir!

Rendezvous with Rama is one of the best "Nothing Happens" books ever written, with a really nice closing line.

Didn't realy get into the sequals, which had too much of a hint of "Rendevous with bank-acount" - how did we get from he biots being pretty harmless in one book to them dismembering an astonaut on live TV in another?

Still a cracking author, and an incredible visionary.

Rama will always travel in our space. One day we may even see it.

RIP, mr. Clark.
