Synopsis "3001: The Final Odyssey"

A Main Selection of the Science Fiction Book Club(R)Selected by the Literary Guild(R) and Doubleday Book Club(R) "3001 is not just a page-turner, plugged in to the great icons of HAL and the monoliths, but a book of wisdom too, pithy and provocative."--New Scientist The body of Frank Poole, lost for a thousand years since the computer HAL caused his death en route to Jupiter, is retrieved, revived--and enhanced. In the most eagerly awaited sequel of all time, the terrifying truth of the Monoliths' mission is a mystery only Poole can resolve. Praise for 3001 The Final Odyssey "A one man literary Big Bang, Clarke has originated his own vast and teeming futuristic universe."--Sunday Times"Well-paced and absorbing . . . It is as a flight of fancy by the master of science fiction that 3001 makes its mark."--The Times"In his exciting new novel, Clarke reveals the ominous answer about the ultimate purpose of the monoliths."--Daily Telegraph"Serene, uplifting, and icy clear."--Mail on Sunday"From the moment I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. 3001 The Final Odyssey is a tour de force that finally answers the questions that sparked the imaginations of an entire generation."--Buzz Aldrin
