内容简介

At first, only a few things are known about the celestial object that astronomers dub Rama. It is huge, weighing more than ten trillion tons. And it is hurtling through the solar system at inconceivable speed. Then a space probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It is, incredible, an interstellar spacecraft. Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence. It will kindle their wildest dreams... and fan their darkest fears. For no one knows who the Ramans are or why they have come. And now the moment of rendezvous awaits -- just behind a Raman airlock door.

作者简介

阿瑟·克拉克（1917～2008） 英国科幻作家，与阿西莫夫、海因莱因并称为现代科幻“三巨头”。其代表作包括《童年的终结》《2001：太空漫游》《与拉玛相会》（获雨果奖、星云奖）及《天堂的喷泉》（获雨果奖、星云奖）等科幻史上的杰作。

与另两位“巨头”相比，克拉克的作品绝大多数属于“硬科幻”，视野宏大，具有坚实的科学基础，同时饱含人文关怀，充满对人类文明终极意义的探索。

克拉克早在1945年即提出利用同步卫星实现全球通信的设想。由于他的这一伟大贡献，国际天文学联合会将赤道上空的同步卫星轨道命名为克拉克轨道。
