Comment Rama II, Garden, Revealed (Score 1) 538

They say that the appalling sequels to Rendevous with Rama... were basically entirely Gentry Lee's doing... the sequels are so bad they can only tarnish the perception of the original...

I, for one, loved the entire series. Rendezvous With Rama is THE classic.
Rama II, Garden and Revealed are different, longer, sometimes ponderous, epic, yet fantastically imaginative. They are not Arthur C Clarke, but they are a cracking good read.

Ironically, I think that if they only had Gentry Lee's name on them (and still got out of the publishing house) then they would now have a greater acceptance. Perhaps the practice of putting a famous author's name on the cover backfires if the the famous author is too greatly worshiped.
