Publisher’s Blurb – Lower Cover
In a mind-blowing mix of scientific speculation and thriller, two seemingly unconnected events trigger off the discovery of nothing less than the secret of humanity's existence . . .

Written in conjunction with author and senior NASA scientist Gentry Lee, CRADLE is Arthur C. Clarke's latest masterpiece. It reaffirms his clear-sighted vision of past, present and future, and will become a classic to rank with 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA and CHILDHOOD'S END.
