In all fairness to Clarke, he did not write the follow-ups to Rama, Gentry Lee did. While Clarke's name is the one featured, his role was limited to providing a bunch of ideas and some framework and his universe to Lee, who did the actual nitty gritty writing.
Which is kind of why the sequels were so poor.
