Publisher’s Blurb – Lower Cover
Arthur C. Clarke is without question the world's best-known and most celebrated science fiction writer, with a sixty-year career of unparallelled success. Gathered together for the first time are three of his early novels, each displaying Clarke's trademark clear prophetic vision.
The Sands of Mars
A dedicated group of pioneers, amongst them some of Earth's finest brains, struggle to change the face of the Red Planet . . .
Islands in the Sky
Sixteen-year-old Roy Malcolm wins a TV Aviation Quiz; his prize is a trip to the Inner Station, orbiting Earth, but undreamed-of danger and excitement turn his greatest ambition into a nightmare . . .
Earthlight
Man has colonised the planets, but the inhabitants of the Moon claim they owe no allegiance to any nation on Earth – or even to Earth itself . . .
Three different future worlds from the Master, showing his imagination in full flight.
'Arthur C. Clarke is one of the true geniuses of our time'
Ray Bradbury
