A Space Odyssey

The four books that make up one of the most famous science fiction sagas, gathered in a single volume.

The four books that comprise the "Space Odyssey" saga—2001: A Space Odyssey; 2010: Odyssey Two; 2061: Odyssey Three; and 3001: The Final Odyssey—represent one of the great milestones in science fiction literature and are a fantastic, though not fanciful, account of one of the greatest epics of all time.

The appearance of a mysterious black monolith is the central axis around which an adventure spanning thousands of years unfolds, from humanity's first steps to the conquest of space, the creation of artificial intelligences, and contact with superior beings whose way of life is completely different from what we know on Earth.

Intrigue, action, and the boundless imagination characteristic of the genre converge in this magnificent work with the exploration of humanity's greatest questions: Who are we? What is our essence? What is our place in the cosmos?

Reviews:
