So I went into this sequel without reading about it. I always read about the sequels because they are often a tangent that I don't care for. As was the case in this instance. The first half of the book was pretty dreadful. The relationships showed the age of the book, but felt more like the 60's than the 80's. I don't care about the characters that are described non-stop for the first half of the book. They do nothing to earn my interest.
The second half of the book was much better. It felt like a sequel to Rendezvous with Rama. By the end, I care a little for the characters, but not much. The book should be about Rama and the cosmonauts should just be the reader surrogate.
