The forerunner to YT and AGOCT above. This was serialized between 2020–24 and had two and a half volumes completed coming up to 400k words before ultimately axed. It followed 3 principal FeMCs with a big cast of side povs as they navigate a galaxy on the verge of war. Read here for free.

At only 214 pages, it felt surprisingly short. Clark set out exactly what he wanted with the book and before you know it, it's over. It sort of lacks any real character substance to the characters and focuses on the Rama mystery instead, but you still get some interesting charactistics out of them. I feel this has helped me improve in my own writing.

A monster of a novel that originally had over 20,000 words cut for economical reasons. As I have not read the cut version, it is hard to say if it was for good reason. This is very much grounded in the 1950s/1960 and it shows. It's awfully preachy at times and nearly as bewildering as Frank Herbert in his twilight years. I seldom ever reread books but I may reread this after I exhaust my library. It was very interesting and though I feel I understood little, it's given me perspectives on life as a 30/yo.

The granddaddy of storytelling. It was very interesting to say the least, and like with SIASL, I feel since reading it back in late 2025 I've grown a bit more as a person as I journey through harsh life as a man trying to find his footing in a crapsack world.
