Arthur Charles Clarke Libri

Nove anni dopo il disastro, il relitto della Discovery vaga abbandonato nello spazio interplanetario, portando con sé i misteri del fallimento di quella missione. Ora, una spedizione congiunta di astronauti russi e americani ha il compito di raggiungere la nave spaziale alla deriva e scandagliare la memoria di Hal 9000, l'intelligenza artificiale deviata che ha portato la Discovery alla rovina. Perché il computer si è ammutinato? Che fine ha fatto l'equipaggio? Cosa ne è stato del comandante Bowman? Quando anche una spedizione cinese è inviata verso il relitto, la missione di recupero si trasforma in qualcosa di più pericoloso e cruciale: in gioco c'è il futuro dell'universo, perché chi otterrà per primo le informazioni raccolte dall' equipaggio della Discovery riguardanti l'enigmatico monolite rinvenuto sotto la superficie lunare sarà destinato a governare il mondo.
