Rama propels you into the 22nd Century and immerses you in the mystery and adventure of a lifetime -- a mystery that questions the egocentric notion that life as we know it is exclusive to Earth. Some unknown, intellectually superior force has sent the massive Rama spacecraft, which is roughly the size of Los Angeles County, to the edge of our solar system. A crew made up of you and the best trained astronauts on Earth sets out to explore the spacestation and unlock the mysteries of extraterrestrial life. The outcome of your travels will change the face of humankind, opening its eyes to the existence of an alien race of far superior intelligence.

Recognizing that the marriage of PC games and novels is the literature of the future, writers Gentry Lee and Arthur C. Clarke have traded in their pens and paper for design specs and bleeding edge multimedia technology. With Lee working behind the computer screen, and Clarke working in front of it, soon the release of Rama will debut a new age of interactive literature.
