I’m already on board and I haven’t even read the book yet! Anyway, think about your dream casting for the film and we’ll see you all in March. There’s, did you know that Morgan Freeman has been trying to make a movie of this for YEARS?! He even had ‘Alien 3’ and ‘Se7en’ director David Fincher on board at one point but it fell through. Rendezvous with Rama (1973) is the first in a series of science fiction novels by British author Sir Arthur C. Looking for some more information on this 1973 published, Hugo-award winning novel? Here’s a great article from the Guardian about the story and how it factor’s into the friendship/rivalry between Clarke and Asimov: Written in 1973, a massive 50 kilometre long alien cylinder begins to pass through the solar system provoking a hurried effort to intercept it. We’re looking forward to learning more about the celestial object that scientists dub “Rama” and traveling with them as they travel out of Earth orbit to investigate. Clarke! We have read other novels and short stories by Clarke and people say that Rama is “a cornerstone of bibliography” (okay, Wikipedia says, but you get it). So let’s turn to one of the greats of the genre, Arthur C. We’ve decided to stick with space adventures for this month, inspired by last month’s book “The Sparrow”.
