Synopsis
In the 2130s, a massive cylindrical object enters the solar system and is identified as an alien starship, prompting humanity to send a crew aboard to explore its mysterious interior before it swings past the Sun and vanishes. Inside the vast rotating world of Rama, Commander Norton and his team encounter breathtaking alien engineering, bizarre ecosystems, and more questions than answers.
