Time is running out for the passengers and crew of the tourist cruiser Selene, incarcerated in a sea of choking lunar dust.

On the surface her rescuers find their resources stretched to the limit by the mercilessly unpredictable conditions of a totally alien environment.

when listening to this story it's hard to imagine that Rama was written by Mr C Clarke, such is yhe ordinariness of this story. pulp scifi with tiny nuggets of brilliance.

not his best

Arthur C Clarke is one of the best science communicators that has ever lived. Read and listened to the Space Odyssey series and The Rama series. While he can paint a picture of science fiction that might well become science fact. However he cant seem to make a drama story with something approaching anything a real world conversation between real people might sound like. Some of the dialog sounded at best unrealistic and at worst ridiculous

Has good attention to detail

although a little dated this really is a page Turner of a story, and keeps you on the edge
right to its conclusion, this is one of Clarkes
finest books, anyone wishing to get into
sci fi ,this comes well recommended.

a gripping read

There's just not enough story in here to justify a read of this length. The sci-fi is nice, the outdatedness isn't a problem, but this should have been a much shorter book. I don't really want to know the inconsequential back story of every single accidental character.

Stretched-out novella

A simple storyline which still demanded my attention. The unique setting made it all the more memorable

Technical but not too much so
