About the only Clarke novel I've enjoyed - and re-read with some frequency - was Songs of Distant Earth. It had a mutiny, local politicking, interesting ocean world, a beanstalk, a look into the evolution of starships in the setting, and aquatic aliens, and it was all set against the poignant backdrop of Sol's supernova.
