A daring romp through the solar system and a worthy successor to 2001.-Carl SaganNine 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 wrongand what became of Commander Dave Bowman.Without warning, a Chinese expedition targets the same objective, turning the recovery mission into a frenzied race for the precious information Discovery may hold about the enigmatic monolith that orbits Jupiter.Meanwhile, the being that was once Dave Bowman-the only human to unlock the mystery of the monolith-streaks toward Earth on a vital mission of its own . . .Clarke deftly blends discovery, philosophy, and a newly acquired sense of play.-Time2010 is easily Clarkes best book in over a decade.-The San Diego Tribune
