| | 1. |  | The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke
from Orb Books
Price: $8.00
Customer Review:
Clarke was a prolific writer. Some would say that qualifies as being a great writer, but I would say that putting out a high quantity of stories just fills the bell curve as far as quality of stories. Maybe it is because of the span of time over which these were written, but many of them read like... more info

| | 2. |  | 2061: Odyssey Three
from Del Rey
Price: $5.97
Customer Review:
I read this book without reading the others in the series but didn't have a hard time grasping what was going on. The book doesn't have a definitive ending since it is left open to the next in the series but it was enjoyable. It is complete science fiction in seemingly every way. Space ships, the... more info

Customer Review:
This masterful writing has one more captivated not only my interest but my psychological and mental capacity fit for fascinating inferences and a dynamic set of revelations all from the cunning words of Clarke.
Clarke's writing is just about as outstanding as the tales he weaves. He gives a... more info

from Aspect
Price: $17.98
Customer Review:
The problem is an endemic one for sci-fi: the non-hardcore reader often doesn't feel drawn to the characters or the plotlines. That reader, such as myself, often feels that the characters are at the service of some "hard science" idea: they are useful gadgets to help bring life to Mars, peer into... more info

from Del Rey
Price: $3.85
Customer Review:
The Distant Future: The human colonists of the planet Thalassa have never known what is to gaze upon the face of the Earth. Originally borne to safe harbour as DNA banks aboard massive "seedships" fleeing a dying Terran sun, they have survived and endured some six hundred years upon the three... more info

| | 8. |  | The Garden of Rama
from Spectra
Price: $3.44
Customer Review:
Just a couple of examples of how utterly worthless the science is in the Rama sequels:
The octospiders, we learn, are an underwater race. Fine. But Gentry Lee has them communicating by bands of colored light around their heads, because--get this--sound doesn't travel well under water, but light... more info
