Clarke was full of great ideas... often best left in better hands. Kubrick is one example, and Baxter another. He made a better collaborator or influence than an author in his own right. The best Rama books were Greg Bear's Eon series, up until maybe Neal Stephenson's Anathem (which was a kind of synthesis of major ideas in sci-fi up to that point, but certainly included a good Rama).
