3001: The Final Odyssey

A Novel

De: Arthur C. Clarke

Narrado por: Scott Brick

In 3001: The Final Odyssey, Arthur C. Clarke brings the greatest and most successful science fiction series of all time to its magnificent, stunningly unforeseen conclusion. As we hurtle toward the new millennium in real time, Clarke brilliantly, daringly leaps one thousand years into the future to reveal a truth we are only now capable of comprehending. An epic masterpiece at once dazzlingly imaginative and grounded in scientific actuality, 3001 is a story that only Arthur C. Clarke could tell.

Clarke Was Brilliant

Did not see any of this coming. And I loved the whole thing about people from our time wouldn't be able to understand most of what people will be saying 1000 years from now. This is a great ending to a brilliant series.Bravo.

Another great one in the series

Not as good as 2001 but Clarke definitely did a good job of continuing the story and keeping it interesting. Narrator Scott Brick did great, as always.

A must-read finish to the Series

I'm so glad I decided to get this last installment to the Space Odessey Series. Clarke even gave the story some final twists. And hearing his discussion of the changes and challenges he faced in writing the Series from the first publication of 2001 was very interesting.

A Conclusion

I have to say that I liked it but it was a bit anti climatica. The projection of Science and Technology into the future is always the best part of this series My great grandchildren will have to look back and see how accurate he was

Poor ol' Frank

Where does 3001 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's really not bad. Scott Brick has become one of my more preferred, American accented narrators. The story itself is amusing to me as I'm a huge fan of 2001, 2010, 2061.

What was one of the most memorable moments of 3001?
Poor ol' Frank gets taken down a peg or 2 - and that's saying something. He's so blown away by the technology available in this new millennium he finds himself in. I really enjoyed hearing Scott Brick read the bits of the book that referred to 2010. I'm pretty geeky about all that, so it was a pleasure to revisit it. He does a great job.

What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His easy-sounding, laid back manner lends itself to the realm of the 2001 series. (I just couldn't imagine what could be done with the story itself - they FIND FRANK?? lol - I was gladly mistaken. I should have more faith in one of my favorite authors whose stories have truly touched my life.)

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.

Any additional comments?
I really recommend this novel and audible version.
