I had read the orignal Rama book many years ago and hadn't realized that a great story continues for several more volumes.

In the third book of the tetralogy, Clark and Lee are into the real science-y part of the series, giving you a sense of how advanced the technology of the Rama spaceship is. At the end of the last book, the main characters are hurtling through space. This book starts with the birth of a child, and all of the complicated extra-family relationships as they do not know how long they will be in transit.

As they grow more aware of the purpose of the ship, and arrive at their destination, the main characters are still not sure how much to trust their hosts.

The book is long, but not overly long. There are really several story arcs put together; several years ago this probably would have been three books. Clark and Lee use the spaceship environment to explore a lot of human interaction and behaviors, and provide a satisfying book that leaves you longing for the last book, and to see how the story concludes.
