Summary

Arthur Clarke: 2061: The Third Odyssey

Two space expeditions become inextricably intertwined. Heywood Floyd, who has survived two previous encounters with the mysterious monoliths, must once again face Dave Bowman, HAL, and an alien race that has decided that humanity will play a role in the evolution of the galaxy, whether we like it or not.

Fifty-one years after the mysterious aliens who built the Monolith transformed the planet Jupiter into a mini-sun to help evolve life on Jupiter's moon Europa, Earth is sent message:

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS - EXCEPT EUROPE - DO NOT TRY TO LAND THERE

Io has become a volcanic hell, Europa an oceanic world shrouded in clouds, and Ganymede a paradise for planetary engineers and a new world colonized by the human race. Large-scale interplanetary travel is now commercially viable thanks to muon-catalyzed fusion-powered spacecraft. Still, the warning message makes humanity cautious about sending a spacecraft near Europa, despite its mysteries, such as the appearance of Mount Zeus on its surface.

And as the expedition prepares for the first human landing on the surface of Halley's comet, which is approaching Earth again, another space expedition will soon turn a mission of exploration into a mission of rescue. The point of intersection of these two expeditions is Haywood Floyd, now a centenarian, who has survived two previous encounters with the mysterious monoliths, and now confronts Dave Bowman again - if the transformed entity is still Bowman - with the newly independent HAL and an alien race that has decided that humanity must play its part in the evolution of the galaxy.

In the third installment of the famous SF series, the author once again deals with the most glorious future ever imagined, another confirming that he is a master at describing the wonders of the material universe in sentences that combine scientific accuracy and often astonishing lyricism.
