six years ago I was introduced into the world of science fiction. A friend lend me several Clarke books (Rama series, Childhood's End, and the first three Odyssey books). I loved the Odyssey books, although there were some inconsistencies, the serie in general was really good. For the next six years I waited to read the book that'll end this great series. Maybe the anticipation, made me hope for something better, but 3001: Final Odyssey was really disappointing. I expected something better with which the Odyssey series would bid farewell to the fans....
