You're killin' me, Clarke. Another chapter copied from 2010 and already reused in 2061? That's three of the last six chapters.

Clarke sure likes to repeat himself. For the third book in a row he's using the same chapter to describe the Europan sea floor. (not exactly identical; the version in 2061 and 3001 includes a sentence referring to what happened at the end of 2010).

A bit more world building in the middle section, plus a lecture about how barbaric we 21st century people are, especially when it comes religion. Oh my Deus you guys, religion is just the worst thing ever and it caused all the wars in history, because they certainly weren't about resources, power, respect, or anything like that.

So far this is shaping up to be a lot like 2061, less of a novel and more of an exercise in imagining the distant future. We're nearly 40% of the way through and the hero is just now getting the Call To Adventure.

This is the second Odyssey book in which someone has spent so much time in a low-gravity environment that they can never return to Earth. Why not though? Couldn't they use weight training, electric muscle stimulation, or exoskeletons?

Onward to the fourth volume in the Odyssey trilogy. If you cut out the Acknowledgements and an excerpt from another book, this final installment checks in at 247 pages, just barely longer than 2001.
