Does anyone here have a hardcopy of Arthur C. Clarke's
Rendezvous with Rama? I read it a few years back and was just reading a copy I
downloaded. The third paragraph on the first page reads like this:
At 09.46 GMT on the morning of 11 September, in the
exceptionally beautiful summer of the year 2077, most of
the inhabitants of Europe saw a dazzling fireball appear
in the eastern sky. Within seconds it was brighter than
the sun, and as it moved across the heavens - at first in
utter silence - it left behind it a churning column of dust
and smoke.
Can anyone verify thats how its written in the book? Wondering if anyones changed it to be clever buggers.
