Nine years after the disastrous Discovery mission to Jupiter in 2001, a joint U.S.-Soviet expedition sets out to rendezvous with the derelict spacecraft-to search the memory banks of the mutinous computer HAL 9000 for clues to what went wrong…and what became of Commander Dave Bowman. “A daring romp through the solar system and a worthy successor to 2001.”-Carl Sagan Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.

In this stunning sequel to his international bestseller, Clarke has written what will truly be one of the great books of the '80s.
Now all those questions and many more have been answered. What could drive HAL, a stable, intelligent computer, to kill the crew? Was HAL really insane? What happened to HAL and the spaceship Discovery after Dave Bowman disappeared? What alien purpose lay behind the monoliths on the Moon and out in space? Who or what transformed Dave Bowman into the Star-Child? What purpose lay behind the transformation? What would become of the Star-Child? Yet, along with almost universal acclaim, a host of questions has grown more insistent through the years: Since then, its fame has grown steadily among the multitudes who have read the novel or seen the film based on it. When 2001: A Space Odyssey first shocked, amazed, and delighted millions in the late 1960s, the novel was quickly recognized as a classic.
