On its mysterious voyage through interstellar space a massive alien starship carries its human
passengers to the end of a generations-long odyssey. But the great experiment designed by the
Ramans has failed and Rama III has become a battleground. Fleeing a tyrant a band of humans
ventures into the nether regions of the ship where they encounter an emerald-doomed lair ruled
by the fabulously advanced octospiders. As the octospiders lure the humans deeper into their
domain the humans must decide whether the creatures are their allies of enemies. All the while
Rama III continues its in-explorable journey towards the node where the climax of their voyage
awaits the stunning revelation of the true identity of the beings behind this glittering trek
across the cosmos.
