Title: Rendezvous with Rama
Author: Arthur C. Clarke
Year: 1973/1974
Publisher: Ballantine
Pages: 276
Old-style male-type hard SF (which I like as a genre because there are so few female characters to be depicted stupidly). Rama is a gigantic Space Thing to be explored. Entertaining serious problems occur and clever solutions are found. The action moves along to a pleasing resolution that wraps up the story but leaves our frustration intact by not answering certain important questions about Rama. And a great punchline.
