Synopses & Reviews
Arthur C. Clarke is one of the greatest science fiction writers of the century, and surely the most celebrated science fiction writer alive. He is -- with H. G. Wells, Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein -- one of the writers who define the genre. Now, at the dawn of the year 2001, Sir Arthur C. Clarke has cooperated in the preparation of a massive definitive edition of his collected shorter works, which will be made available on audio in five chronological volumes, followed by a 10 CD volume of favorite selection and a 30 cassette gift set...the most ambitious science fiction audio project in history.
This final volume in the audio version features, in addition to the 1962 title story, "The Cruel Sky", "The Steam-powered Word Processor", the classics "The Hammer of God" and "A Meeting With Medusa", and Clarke's latest story, "Improving the Neighborhood", published in Nature in 1999.
