No it's no scam, I have a copy of the book. Arthur C. Clarke 3001 The final Odyssey Copyright 1997 by the Author himself. And it is the fourth book in the series, the thrid was 2061 odyssey three. It's a hard back book that I bought when it came out, and is been in paperback for sometime as well. There is even Praise for the book from Buzz Aldrin and Roger Ebert.

Oh yea! I'm just about finished with Analog Days, this is a really good book.
