Beschreibung

© 1953: A stand-alone novel by Arthur C Clarke. Pan Books #X573. 4th printing of 1956 edition:- Synopsis: Blotting out the light from the stars they had linked so effortlessly, the silent ships hang suspended over the great cities of Earth - and a long and bloody chapter of history comes to an end. Armed with a staggering power and an infinite wisdom, the invaders from outer space shock Earth into submission - but what is their purpose? Breath-taking in its imaginative sweep, this brilliant story explores the distant reaches of space, tells of the last generation of Man - and of the last Man himself:- Review(s): "His best so far. Fantastic, frightening, and so carefully reasoned that it is almost convincing" - Flight / "The climax is a tour de force of imaginative writing. Even among science fiction writers Mr Clarke stands out as the possessor of an imagination quite out of the ordinary" - Manchester Evening News / "The end of this extraordinary story is splendidly handled" - Star:- (original cost 2'6).
