In a single volume, the complete short fiction of one of the greatest SF writers of the century

Author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Childhood's End, The City and the Stars, and the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Rendezvous with Rama, Arthur C. Clarke is the most celebrated science fiction author alive. He is--with H. G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, and Robert A. Heinlein--one of the writers who define science fiction in our time.

Now Clarke has cooperated in the preparation of a massive, definitive edition of his collected shorter works. From early work like Rescue Party and The Lion of Comarre, through classics like The Star, Earthlight, The Nine Billion Names of God, and The Sentinel (kernel of the later novel, and movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey), all the way to later work like A Meeting with Medusa and The Hammer of God, this immense volume encapsulates one of the great SF careers of all time.

About the Author

Born in Minehead, Somerset in 1917, Arthur C. Clarke is perhaps the most celebrated science fiction author alive today. He is the author of more than sixty books with more than 50 million copies in print, and the winner of all the field's highest honors. He was named Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1986.

In 1945 he published the technical paper Extra-terrestrial Relays, which in essence invented the principle of worldwide communication via geosynchronous satellite.

His well-known novels include Childhood's End; Against the Fall of Knight; 2001: A Space Odyssey; Rendezvous with Rama; Imperial Earth; The Fountains of Paradise; 2010: Odyssey Two; 2061: Odyssey Three, and 3001. In 1968, he collaborated with director Stanley Kubrick on the screenplay for the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was derived from his story The Sentinel.

He has lived in Colombo, Sri Lanka since 1956. He was awarded the CBE in 1989 and knighted in 1998.
