At first, only a few things are known about the celestial object that astronomers dub Rama. When a space probe confirms that it is an interstellar spacecraft, explorers and scientists prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence.

Who this is for

AI · Sample

A propulsive thriller that trades depth for forward motion. The voice is direct, the chapters are short, and most readers blow through it in two sittings. If you're between heavier books and want a clean reset, this fits.
