BEYOND THE FALL OF NIGHT

Arthur C. Clarke’s brilliant novella, Against the Fall of Night, takes us billions of years into the future.

A young man named Alvin rebels against the machine-fed ease of his existence, discovers the long-hidden truth about human history, and forces his people to face their destiny among the stars.

This is his story, expanded and continued by the award-winning Gregory Benford. A breathtaking journey into new and startling realms of possibility . . .

"It overflows with concepts, any one of which could serve as the basis of an important novel."
- Locus

"Benford’s unflagging inventiveness will both delight and outrage fans of the original work."
- Publishers Weekly

A choice of The Literary Guild, Doubleday Book Club, and Science Fiction Book Club
