Space Odyssey series [Schedule] Bonus Book - 2010: Odyssey Two by Arthur C. Clarke

Hello, fellow sci-fi enthusiasts! Welcome to the discussion schedule for 2010: Odyssey Two by Arthur C. Clarke. We'll be taking off in a couple of weeks, so get ready for our mission to Jupiter and possibly answers (with a few more questions added for good measure).

StoryGraph blurb:

Nine years after the disastrous Discovery mission to Jupiter in 2001, a joint U.S.-Soviet expedition sets out to rendezvous with the derelict spacecraft--to search the memory banks of the mutinous computer HAL 9000 for clues to what went wrong...and what became of Commander Dave Bowman.

Without warning, a Chinese expedition targets the same objective, turning the recovery mission into a frenzied race for the precious information Discovery may hold about the enigmatic monolith that orbits Jupiter.

Meanwhile, the being that was once Dave Bowman--the only human to unlock the mystery of the monolith--streaks toward Earth on a vital mission of its own . . .

Discussion schedule:

The marginalia post for the entire Space Odyssey series can be found here.

Hope you'll join us for another trip across the solar system!

Thanks! It appears I’ve read the precise chapters needed for the first check-in. By the way, this could usefully be added to the September reading schedule.
