2061

Odyssey Three.

2061 is the year Halley's Comet makes its next pilgrimage to the inner Solar System – and the year centenarian Heywood Floyd encounters once again the alien Monoliths. Near Jupiter, the transfigured forms of Dave Bowman and HAL the computer are Heywood's only chance of survival – if they too are not now alien beings.

. Arthur C.Clarke's space saga contines in 2061, when an Earth vessel landing on Halley's Comet marks the beginning of another confrontation between Heywood Floyd and David Bowman - or whatever Bowman has become - a newly independent HAL and the unseen alien power that controls the destiny of Earth. Arthur C.Clarke, one of most popular science fiction writers of the 20th century, has written over 50 books including "The City and the Stars", "Rendezvous with Rama", "Childhood's End", "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "2010: Odyssey Two".
