Publisher’s Blurb – Lower Cover
Arthur C. Clarke is one of the giants of science fiction. More than 2,000,000 of his books have been sold throughout the world.

Twice Chairman of the British Interplanetary Society, he was the winner of the 1962 Kalinga Prize awarded by UNESCO for the popularisation of science.

PEOPLES OF OTHER WORLDS . . .

EXPEDITION TO EARTH – the first contact of two races, one primitive and with an unknown future, the other age-old and doomed . . .

HISTORY LESSON – they came to the Third Planet five thousand years too late, but found a record of its people . . .

AND OF OUR OWN PLANET

HIDE AND SEEK – one man in a space suit, trapped on a moon only 20 kilometres across, and against him one heavily armed cruiser . . .

EXILE OF THE EONS – the cornered tyrant who put himself to sleep for a century . . . and overslept . . .

EXPEDITION TO EARTH
a collection of stories to haunt you and to make you dream
