| | 1. | [no image] | Childhood's End
from Harcourt
Customer Review:
Childhood's End is 1 of the earliest novels in the oeuvre of Arthur C. Clarke, & 1 of his best. 1 of the interesting things about reviewing very successful works long after their debut is how their very success can sometimes make the work seem less than it originally was. This is because the... more info

| | 2. |  | The Last Theorem
from Del Rey
Price: $17.82
Customer Review:
"The Last Theorem" by Arthur C. Clarke and Frederik Pohl was Clarke's last book; he died a few days after reviewing the final manuscript.
The title refers to Fermat's Last Theorem, which has never been adequately proven. Now what is the last theorem and why is should be proven is one of the... more info

| | 4. |  | Rendezvous With Rama
from Lightyear Press
Price: $27.32
Customer Review:
Aside from 2001, the masterpiece of the late Arthur C. Clarke is generally considered to be "Rendezvous with Rama," winner of the Hugo Award. "Rama" is unique in the science fiction genre, since it doesn't opt for flashy action scenes with space aliens, or far-flung notions such as a time travel... more info

| | 5. |  | Firstborn
from Del Rey
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
I share the prevailing opinions of the other reviewers. Both authors can do better than this - and have. I suspect that the problem was Clarke's approaching date with destiny. My speculation is that they agreed to spend the last chapters building up the suspense for a sequel which it would be up to... more info

| | 6. | [no image] | 2001: A Space Odyssey
from Roc
Customer Review:
The most realistic depiction of space travel I have ever seen or read (if you don't count the NASA documentaries). The incredible meets the mundane every day. It isn't better than the movie, but neither is it worse. Personally, I prefer it to the movie because Clarke can actually explain to you what... more info

Customer Review:
After visionning the movies 2000 and 2010 again after few years, I did have a teast to see more from Artur C. Clarke. Well I got more for what I was bargening for. I wish Spilberg will pick-up and bring that vision to the level it deserve. Get-it, see-it.

| | 9. |  | Time's Eye (A Time Odyssey)
from Del Rey
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
Time's End is the result of a collaboration between Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter.
There is a alien spawned, sudden discontinuity (a "lack of continuity, logical sequence, or cohesion") in time on Earth. This results in a patchwork of geological eras and the subsequent landforms; an... more info

| | 10. |  | The Songs of Distant Earth
from Voyager
Customer Review:
The novels of Arthur Clarke have a depth to them that few other authors have. While he does occasionally invent some physics in order to further the plot, the vast majority of the time he stays within the actual or at least plausible realms.
In this story, scientists discover that the... more info
