A C Clarke's Odyssey-quartet - Views?

I think they are a fascinating read, all of them,

I love them all, but my favorite is 2001. We don't seem to have come as far as what he imagined in the '60's. I really like his Rendezvous with Rama series as well.

I have the Rama-series as well. And they are very good, too.

What did you think of how he wrapped things in 3001?

I've read 2010 and 3001 and am reading 2001. I like them all.

At the end of 3001, the alien presences appeared to give up on Mankind.

It's so long since I've read 3001, I forget how it ends. Is is that the aliens plan to blow up the solar system using the monolith, but the humans stop it by using a Trojan horse? Thats all I remember.
