Not saying 2061 is bad but it could be better. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Finding out his estrange grandson is a crew member aboard a similar vessel doing research in the Jovian/Lucifer system when that ship is hijacked and forced to land on Europa, Floyd and the crew of the space ship he's traveling with must come up with an ingenious method to reach Europa in time to save the crew of the downed ship. The novel follows the adventures of Heywood Floyd returning from Halley's Comet, and investigating Jupiter's moon Europa. 2061: Odyssey Three continues the story of Heywood Floyd, a chirpy 103 year old.

However, when you know that 2061 is the year that Halley's Comet is next due to pass Earth it begins to make sense. Arthur C. Clarke’s 2061: Odyssey Three is truly a masterful elaboration on one man’s epic vision of the universe. Suddenly, Lucifer's light begins to fade and the Monolith reawakens for the first time in four million years.
It came out about the time of the return of Halley's comet in 1986, and is set at the time of the comet's next expected visit to the inner solar system in 2061. Even as part of a series that I've found mediocre at best, 2061 was a disappointing, awful book. He and HAL believe that when Lucifer begins to fail, the monolith will weigh the Europans against humanity and they have only about a thousand years to prepare for that moment. I considered quitting or crying. Returning from Halley's Comet, Floyd is directed to Europa on a rescue mission using the Universe spacecraft that travels to the aid of Galaxy, trapped on Europa. When the most famous comet there is comes back past the orbit of Earth, which it has done for an incredible 20,000 years.

I was seriously not expecting him to even be alive at this point since he was already old in the last book. It's terribly dull and pedestrian, and not up to the standards of "2001", or even its subpar sequel "2010".
Many threads get entangled in what seems to be a forcefully delivered sequel. The copy I own is a hardcover first edition, and it's the most poorly-edited professionally published book I've ever read. He returns to one of the main characters of previous novels, Heywood Floyd, and his adventures with the 2061 return of Halley's comet to the moon Jupiter Europa.

The series consists of: Well, I was having second thoughts about continuing A.C.Clarke's third novel in the classic 2001 series of science fiction books. Refresh and try again. Overall, though, the plot seemed a bit disjointed. Bowman states that during the diamond meteor impact, the immensely powerful monolith tipped over on its side, and may be damaged. I can only hope these flaws were corrected in later editions. But that is precisely what Arthur C. Clarke accomplished with 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Having recently found myself in need of the comfort of an old escape - one of my favourite authors during my teens and early years 20's) I revisited the Space Odyssey series. One article lends plausibility to 2061's basic premise that other Solar System bodies may contain massive quantities of diamond material,[2] and serves as a factual basis for 2061's fictional premise of a large diamond being discovered on Europa. It was simply ‘okay.’ I found the first two books in the series far more interesting.

His estranged grandson, Chris, works aboard the spacecraft Galaxy.
Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of, Published Clarke really missed the upcoming digital information revolution, and that makes his 2061 feel very wrong at a number of key points.
Went the distance from 2001 etc. Clarke has two plots going at the same time and there isn't much of a plot as it is and nothing of very much interest happens. After the second book, which I did not feel gripped me as much (the film either), this next one again is similar. I've read the first two volumes in Turkish when I asked the bookseller bout this one, he said it would be translated in a few months.
We're treated to the usual chauvinistic, awkward writing, this time with occasional random chapters about a gay couple on a space hospital (??).
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2019. As the book was written before the fall of apartheid, Clarke predicts a revolution in South Africa that results in much of the white population leaving the coun.

Observing the burgeoning aquatic life forms of Europa, the crew pilots Galaxy to an island that they name Haven. Well, I was having second thoughts about continuing A.C.Clarke's third novel in the classic 2001 series of science fiction books. This series started as a one-off book released in conjunction with the Stanley Kubrick movie of the same name. As I write this I have read 75% of 3001.
There is mystery in this next book, though it does move along a little slowly until becoming more entertaining near the end. The writing style of Clarke is always a good crafted standard, but is dating now. There was an error retrieving your Wish Lists. However, when you know that 2061 is the year that Halley's Comet is next due to pass Earth it begins to make sense.

I didn't feel it was as good as the first two, but then it has been over 50 years since I first saw the movie and read the first book, about 40 since the second. This third installment of the Space Odyssey series was not as good as the first two, but it was still an enjoyable read! There really wasn't any reason to write this book besides cashing in on its very well know predecessors 2001 and 2010, both of which are supported by two very different but decent movie adaptations. This is my first fiction book I've read in English. Universe rescues the crew of the Galaxy; they are brought to Ganymede, where they watch as Mount Zeus, which has been steadily sinking, finally disappears beneath the Europan surface.
