Price: $8.24

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.

| | 2. |  | 2001: A Space Odyssey
from NAL Hardcover
Price: $14.95
Customer Review:
This novel is simply timeless. I doubt, while humans are still around to read it, this novel will ever lose its stark truth and its even more abysmal future for mankind. It touches on many different aspects of human nature and our uncanny ability to just kind of 'mess things up'. It poses a question... more info

| | 4. |  | The Fountains of Paradise
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

| | 5. |  | Rendevous With Rama
from Gollancz
Customer Review:
Of the "Big Three" writers to come out of the pulp era of SF -- the other two being Asimov and Heinlein -- Clarke has suffered less in a fall in reputation. During the forties and fifties, SF was considered incompatible with good writing. This was not the opinion of those outside SF, but those... more info

| | 6. |  | 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

from Del Rey
Price: $1.98
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

| | 10. | [no image] | Firstborn
from Gollancz
Customer Review:
And these pet ideas are the only things that make this book worth reading, bringing what could have been a promising series to its sadly weak conclusion. 19 years after the events of "Sunstorm," Bisesa Dutt is retrieved from hibernation by her daughter, now a grown woman with issues, who has thrown... more info
