Short stories from the science fiction master -- including the tale that inspired 2001: A Space Odyssey.




These stories present a brilliant showcase of Arthur C. 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." Also included is "The Sentinel" -- the basis for the classic Stanley Kubrick film 2001: A Space Odyssey.





This outstanding collection reminds us that the author of Childhood's End was not only a giant in the world of science fiction, a recipient of multiple Nebula and Hugo Awards, and an incomparable storyteller, but also a "skilled literary artist" (Hartford Courant).





"I do not know of any short story that has moved me more than Arthur C. Clarke's 'If I Forget Thee, Oh Earth.'" -- The Christian Science Monitor
