所有的故事，都开始于300万年前

一块神秘的黑色石板，出现在非洲丰饶广袤的草原上。没有人知道是谁放在那里的，因为那里根本没有“人”。但地球未来的主宰者，却从此踏上了他们漫长的征途。300万年后的一个寻常日子，一块黑色石板在月球上被人类挖出。

“发现号”宇宙飞船沉稳老练的鲍曼船长，带着他的船员和科学家团队，在电脑“哈儿”的辅佐下，开启了对这石板主人的秘密追寻。

一场跨越地球到土星十亿公里的太空之旅，人类跟随更高等文明的指引，试图找到太空和自身的答案。

人类文明究竟是自然演化，还是更高等文明的一场实验？宇宙文明演化的终点又在哪里？在“太空漫游”里，阿瑟•克拉克给了我们一个恢宏的答案。

《太空漫游四部曲1：2001》 / 2001: A Space Odyssey

THE CLASSIC SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL THAT CHANGED THE WAY WE LOOKED AT THE STARS AND OURSELVES

From the savannas of Africa at the dawn of mankind to the rings of Saturn as man ventures to the outer rim of our solar system, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a journey unlike any other. 

This allegory about humanity’s exploration of their universe, and the universe’s reaction to humanity was the basis for director Stanley Kubrick’s immortal film, and lives on as a hallmark achievement in storytelling.

★★★               ★★★

《太空漫游四部曲2：2010》/ 2010: Odyssey Two

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 . . . 

★★★               ★★★

《太空漫游四部曲3：2061》 / 2061: Odyssey Three

Arthur C. Clarke’s 2061: Odyssey Three is truly a masterful elaboration on one man’s epic vision of the universe.

Only rarely does a novelist weave a tapestry so compelling that it captures the imagination of the entire world. But that is precisely what Arthur C. Clarke accomplished with 2001: A Space Odyssey.

It is even more unusual that an author is able to complement so well-received an invention with an equally successful sequel. But Arthur C. Clarke’s 2010: Odyssey Two enthralled a huge audience worldwide.

Now, in 2061: Odyssey Three, Arthur C. Clarke revisits the most famous future ever imagined, as two expeditions into space are inextricably tangled by human necessity and the immutable laws of physics. And Heywood Floyd, survivor of two previous encounters with the mysterious monoliths, must once again confront Dave Bowman—or whatever Bowman has become—a newly independent HAL, and the power of an alien race that has decided Mankind is to play a part in the evolution of the galaxy whether it wishes to or not.

★★★               ★★★

《太空漫游四部曲4：3001》/ 3001: The Final Odyssey

The body of Frank Poole, lost for a thousand years since the computer HAL caused his death en route to Jupiter, is retrieved, revived—and enhanced. In the most eagerly awaited sequel of all time, the terrifying truth of the Monoliths’ mission is a mystery only Poole can resolve.
