Description
The third book in the Space Odyssey series, 2061: Odyssey Three, returns to the story of Heywood Floyd, a survivor of previous encounters with mysterious monoliths and alien intelligences. Floyd is chosen to witness the first manned touchdown on the surface of Halley's Comet on a privately-owned spaceship. However, the mission takes an unexpected turn when the sister ship, Galaxy, is hijacked and forced to crash into Jupiter's moon Europa. The consequences of this event set in motion a chain of events that will shape the destiny of the human race. Floyd must once again survive an encounter with HAL, a powerful artificial intelligence, and navigate the mysterious monolith-building race with its own hidden agenda. As the story unfolds, Floyd finds himself at the centre of a complex and thrilling adventure that will take him to the farthest reaches of the solar system.
