A thousand years after being cast into the frozen void of space by the supercomputer HAL, Frank Poole is brought back to life--and thrust into a world more technically advanced than the one he left behind. He discovers a world of human minds directly interfacing with computers; genetically engineered dinosaur servants; and massive space elevators built around the Equator. He also discovers an impending threat to humanity--lurking within the enigmatic monoliths. To fight it, Poole must join forces with David Bowman and HAL, now fused into one corporeal consciousness--and the only being with the power to thwart the monoliths' mysterious creators.

""It is the world first introduced in 2001: A Space Odyssey. And now the odyssey enters its perilous ultimate stage. In 3001, the human race, incredibly, has survived, fearful of the trio of monoliths that dominate the solar system. Then a single hope flickers. The body of Frank Poole, believed dead for a thousand years, is recovered from the frozen reaches of the galaxy. Restored to conscious life, Poole readies himself to resume the voyage that HAL abruptly terminated a millennium ago. He knows he can't proceed without Dave Bowman. But first he must fathom the terrifying truth of what Bowman- and HAL- have become inside the monolith ..."--Page 4 of cover."@en
"The world in the year 3001 seen through the eyes of an astronaut, revived after a thousand-year sleep. The earth is encircled by space cities, accessed by elevators and education is a breeze, computers enabling the brain to absorb complicated information in milliseconds.

"From the Publisher: 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."@en

"With this book Arthur C. Clarke brings the greatest and most successful science fiction series to its magnificent, unforeseen conclusion. Clark brilliantly leaps one thousand years into the future to reveal a truth we can only now comprehend. An epic masterpiece at once dazzlingly imaginative and grounded in scientific fact, 3001 is a story that only Arthur C. Clarke could tell."

"A thousand years after the Jupiter Mission, astronaut Frank Poole is recovered and revived. He is intrigued by how much has changed. Then he receives a warning that the Monoliths have decided to destroy the human race."@en
"The body of Frank Poole, murdered by mad computer HAL a thousand years earlier, is found and revived to a world of peace and plenty, but in his attempts to understand the entity composed of his former deputy Dave Bowman and a copy of the now-sane HAL, Frank learns that Earth is slated for destruction."@en
"Frank Poole was last seen alive in the vicinity of the United States Spaceship Discovery en route to Jupiter's moons. The year was AD 2001 and the Series 900 HAL computer on board Discovery had malfunctioned. Grappling frantically with the broken air hose of his spacesuit, Frank died in the blackness and vacuum of space. In AD 3001 his perfectly preserved body is retrieved by Captain Dimitri Chandler of the spacetug Goliath; medical and electro-optical technologies restore his life and then enhance it with a Braincap."

"Die letzte grosse Odyssee Ein Jahrtausend nach seinem Aufbruch zum Jupiter an Bord der Discovery wird der verschollen geglaubte Astronaut Frank Poole von der Crew der Goliath gefunden und wiederbelebt. Er kehrt zur Erde zurück. Doch die Vergangenheit lässt Poole nicht los: Auf den Spuren seiner ehemaligen Mission stösst er auf Dinge, die zu einer Gefahr für die gesamte Menschheit zu werden drohen. Arthur C. Clarke war einer der bedeutendsten Autoren der internationalen Science Fiction. Geboren 1917 in Minehead, Somerset, studierte er nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg Physik und Mathematik am King's College in London. Zugleich legte er mit seinen Kurzgeschichten und Romanen den Grundstein für eine beispiellose Schriftsteller-Laufbahn. Neben zahllosen Sachbüchern zählen zu seinen grössten Werken die Romane 'Die letzte Generation' und '2001 - Odyssee im Weltraum', nach dem Stanley Kubrick seinen legendären Film drehte. Clarke starb im März 2008 in seiner Wahlheimat Sri Lanka."
