An absolute classic. I read this several times as a child so I was happy to come across this audiobook. The gist of the story is that this mysterious spacecraft that contains a whole miniature world comes hurlting into the solar system. A small band of explorers enter it and try to figure out its mysteries -- much to no avail. A classic Arthur C. Clarke story told with a scientists dispassionate eye.
