Rama II is the first novel of the "new" Rama series, as Rendezvous with Rama is not always counted as part of it. Written primarily by Lee, Rama II has a distinctly different writing style than the original, with a more character-driven narrative and a closer-to-contemporary mindset, ambience and human relations than the first novel's more futuristic tones. It recounts humankind's further interaction with the Ramans, first introduced in Rendezvous with Rama. Rama II is a science fiction novel by Gentry Lee and Arthur C.
