Very similar to Rendezvous with Rama in the setup. Huge celestial body, this time an asteroid, approaches Earth and it's hollow, all kinds of crazy stuff is on the inside. This one is pretty good but it left me with some gripes about it. Most of the time I couldn't get a clear picture in my mind's eye of what the author is describing, and that kinda kills a good sci fi story, for me at least. It's also a bit dated since it came out in the mid 80's, with the Russians as the enemy and some of the technology seems kind of quaint nowadays which is, I guess, always going to happen with an older sci fi story. Apparently there are 2 sequels to it. All in all though, an ok read. Recommended for sci fi fans. 502 pages.
