[GoodReads Summary](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/840278.Eon):
|
|
|
|
|
The 21st century was on the brink of nuclear confrontation when the 300
|
|
|
|
|
kilometer-long stone flashed out of nothingness and into Earth's orbit. NASA,
|
|
|
|
|
NATO, and the UN sent explorers to the asteroid's surface...and discovered
|
|
|
|
|
marvels and mysteries to drive researchers mad.

_Rendezvous with Rama_. It's all I could think while reading this book. I
|
|
|
|
|
mean, it's a very large, strange object, which humans from Earth get inside
|
|
|
|
|
and, while the story progresses, suddenly there are some kind of benevolent
|
|
|
|
|
aliens, but the real monsters are the humans, in the end. And, as Rendezvous,
|
|
|
|
|
there is a lot of over-describing stuff that is not actually important for the
|
|
|
|
|
plot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sure, there are some twists, like who the aliens really are (while later in
|
|
|
|
|
the Rama series you get *why* the aliens built the spaceship in the first
|
|
|
|
|
place) and while the over-descriptions of how the aliens (in this book) look
|
|
|
|
|
like, even if they are curious, show a lot of creativity from the author, they
|
|
|
|
|
still are over-descriptions that add absolutely nothing to the plot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the end, curious, but boring.
