    One thousand years after the Jupiter mission to explore the mysterious Monolith had been destroyed, after Dave Bowman was transformed into the Star Child, Frank Poole drifted in space, frozen and forgotten, leaving the supercomputer HAL inoperable. Now Poole has returned to life, awakening in a world far different from the one he left behind--and just as the Monolith may be stirring once again. . . .

    Arthur C. Clarke has long been considered the greatest science fiction writer of all time and was an international treasure in many other ways, including the fact that an article by him in 1945 led to the invention of satellite technology. Books by Mr. Clarke—both fiction and nonfiction—have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. He died in 2008. View titles by Arthur C. Clarke
    “3001 is not just a page-turner, plugged in to the great icons of HAL and the monoliths, but a book of wisdom too, pithy and provocative.”—New Scientist

    “A one man literary Big Bang, Clarke has originated his own vast and teeming futuristic universe.”—Sunday Times

    “Well-paced and absorbing . . . It is as a flight of fancy by the master of science fiction that 3001 makes its mark.”—The Times

    “In his exciting new novel, Clarke reveals the ominous answer about the ultimate purpose of the monoliths.”—Daily Telegraph

    “Serene, uplifting, and icy clear.”—Mail on Sunday

    “From the moment I picked it up, I couldn’t put it down. 3001 The Final Odyssey is a tour de force that finally answers the questions that sparked the imaginations of an entire generation.”—Buzz Aldrin
