"Now we see what happens when humans are invited to inhabit an ideal world created by an advanced species. What do we humans do to a perfect environment free of totalitarianism?
This book continues the saga of Nicole des Jardins and Richard Wakefield (introduced in RAMA II and, as I've said, perfectly designed characters for their extraordinary setting). I'll say no more."
"The third book in the Rama series and, so far, the least exciting one. While previous installments in the series did a good job of integrating future history and even some social science into the narrative, this attempt fails miserably here. The parts of the book that deal with the social evolution of a spacefaring colony of humans are so boring as to be almost unreadable. Much of the excitement and wonder of the earlier books is still here but it is now stifled by a tortured exploration of human agressiveness and irrationality. Well, hopefully the last book which I still have to read (Rama Revealed) will be able to revive the story."
