This omnibus edition of Arthur C. Clarke’s early novels shows the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey exploring space and time in adventurous and thoughtful ways. Although the course of recent history has been different, these novels offer a glimpse of what-might-have-been, as envisioned nearly 50 years ago by the greatest sci-fi writer of them all.
