The Solace: The second story in the 2001: Space Odyssey series - who knew? This was surprisingly really good. I love that we pick up after the first one, which eases you into the new story with reminders of the first one. Clarke does another great job with this story's space scenery and character interactions.
The Dread: It's not as good as the first, but such is the woe of most sequels. Also, similar to the first, there are some lulls between the plot points, but I understand Clarke is using this space to describe, well, space. I just wish it had been done a bit more succinctly so as not to take away from the experience.
Overall, this is, so far, a great Sci-Fi series - and one I'll continue to travel.
