About this listen

Arthur C. Clarke’s 2061: Odyssey Three is truly a masterful elaboration on one man’s epic vision of the universe.

Only rarely does a novelist weave a tapestry so compelling that it captures the imagination of the entire world. But that is precisely what Arthur C. Clarke accomplished with 2001: A Space Odyssey.

It is even more unusual that an author is able to complement so well-received an invention with an equally successful sequel. But Arthur C. Clarke’s 2010: Odyssey Two enthralled a huge audience worldwide.

Now, in 2061: Odyssey Three, Arthur C. Clarke revisits the most famous future ever imagined, as two expeditions into space are inextricably tangled by human necessity and the immutable laws of physics. And Heywood Floyd, survivor of two previous encounters with the mysterious monoliths, must once again confront Dave Bowman - or whatever Bowman has become - a newly independent HAL, and the power of an alien race that has decided Mankind is to play a part in the evolution of the galaxy whether it wishes to or not.

Arthur C. Clarke had such an incredible imagination and grasp of scientific theory and his skill with brevity is highly refined. He always gives just the right amount of detail to describe a scene. My greatest satisfaction in this story is with the power, purpose and fallibility of the Monolith. Exploring the new environment in our solar system is a wonderful adventure and the spectacle of Mt. Zeus is hard to match. Storytelling at its best. I can't wait to engage the final odyssey.

This Odyssey Does Not Disappoint

2001 and 2010 were much better books in my opinion. I found this story line confusing at times and the story of Europa seemed to abruptly end.

not my favorite
