Rendezvous With Rama - Arthur C. Clarke

(note an audio adaptation of this, not the whole unabridged book)

Rama is the name given to a huge alien spacecraft that is at first mistaken for an asteroid by Earth's defenses against such.

When its artificial nature is determined a mission is sent to try and work out what is going on with this craft. The ship is huge enough to have gravity, contain its own body of water, not to mention buildings, and more, so the investigators have their work cut out for them to get the job done in time.

An interesting space mystery, set against the backdrop of Clarke's 22nd century.
