内容简介
One thousand years after the Jupiter mission to explore the
mysterious Monolith had been destroyed, after Dave Bowman was
transformed into the Star Child, Frank Poole drifted in space,
frozen and forgotten, leaving the supercomputer HAL inoperable. But
now Poole has returned to life, awakening in a world far different
from the one he left behind--and just as the Monolith may be
stirring once again . . .
