"This may be the single-author collection of the decade, even though the decade has barely begun . . . If the term 'sense of wonder' didn't exist, it would now have to be invented to describe what Clarke's majestic narratives evoke."- Booklist (Starred Review) "With his awesome inventiveness, sure grasp of scientific principle, readability, openness, and utter lack of viciousness or meanness, it's easy to understand why Clarke became the single most famous and influential non-American SF writer of the post-WWII period. If you are unacquainted with Clarke-possible, though barely-begin here at once. If you're old friends: Browse. Enjoy. Wonder."- Kirkus Reviews "Arthur C. Clarke is one of the truly prophetic figures of the space age . . . the colossus of science fiction."- The New Yorker "He is the prophet of the space age."- Times of London "Nobody has done more in the way of enlightened prediction than Arthur C. Clarke."-Isaac Asimov "Arthur C.
