Reviews

[Patrik Sahlstrøm · Rating 5 out of 5]

This great anthology collects most of Clarke's short stories. Some of the more iconic ones are missing, but there's plenty of the more obscure that are hard to get hold of to get value for your money. Highly recommended!

[Jeff F · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you love science fiction, consider it your duty to own this collection of short stories that can be argued to form the basis of classic S-F by one of the Grand Masters in the field.
