- Summary
- This collection of Clarke's work was originally published in 1953, when it was selected as one of the best Science Fiction books of the year by Boucher and McComas. It contains many short stories that would later become classics, including The Sentinel-the basis for the later classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. These stories present a brilliant showcase of Clarke's many-layered approach to the moral dilemmas of scientific advancement-from the thrilling and brutal Breaking Strain to the more poetic and thoughtful Second Dawn. This collection represents a tour-de-force of Science Fiction storytelling sure to delight fans of Clarke's work and the SF genre
