2010: Odyssey Two
2010: Odyssey Two is a 1982 science fiction novel by British writer Arthur C. Clarke. It is the sequel to his 1968 novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, though Clarke changed some elements of the story to align with the film version of 2001. Set in the year 2010, nine years after the failure of the Discovery One mission to Jupiter, the plot centres on a joint Soviet-US mission aboard the Soviet spacecraft Alexei Leonov. The mission has several objectives, including salvaging the spaceship Discovery and investigating the mysterious monolith discovered by Dave Bowman in 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1983. The novel was adapted for the screen by Peter Hyams and released as the film 2010: The Year We Make Contact in 1984.
