Yeah! That book made a big impression on me as a kid. The sequels aren't as good and are very different but are still fun to read in their own way. But the sheer mystery of Rama, sustained by the limited duration the team gets to explore, was epic. -- Alaric Snell-Pym (M0KTN neé M7KIT) http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/alaric/
