Tales of Ten Worlds by Arthur C. Clarke
4.0
“We already looked on the moon as no more than a suburb of earth …
… a stepping stone on the way to places that really mattered.”
Arthur C Clarke’s TALES OF TEN WORLDS is a thoroughly entertaining, eclectic collection of classic sci-fi shorts that have aged like a cellar full of fine wine. There is simply no question that Arthur C Clarke deserves his position as one of the acknowledged leaders in the all-time pantheon of sci-fi writers.
Like Ben Bova’s GRAND TOUR OF THE UNIVERSE series, readers will be treated to a scintillating blend of prescient hard and soft sci-fi themes as they are given a rapid-fire tour of the near neighbourhood of our solar system – a comet, an asteroid, the moon, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Titan. TALES OF TEN WORLDS is too short by half and easily recommended to fans of the classic sci-fi genre.
