In a single volume, the complete short fiction of one of the greatest
SF writers of the century
Author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Childhood's End, The City and the
Stars, and the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Rendezvous with Rama,
Arthur C. Clarke is the most celebrated science fiction author alive. He
is--with H. G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, and Robert A. Heinlein--one of the
writers who define science fiction in our time.
Now Clarke has cooperated in the preparation of a massive, definitive
edition of his collected shorter works. From early work like Rescue
Party and The Lion of Comarre, through classics like The Star,
Earthlight, The Nine Billion Names of God, and The Sentinel (kernel of
the later novel, and movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey), all the way to
later work like A Meeting with Medusa and The Hammer of God, this
immense volume encapsulates one of the great SF careers of all time.
