Артур Кларк Book order (chronological)

Arthur C. Clarke has been the presiding genius of science fiction for almost fifty years. His works include the ground-breaking and profound CHILDHOOD'S END, RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA and EXPEDITION TO EARTH. Written when landing on the moon was still a dream, made into one of the most influential films of our century, brilliant, compulsive, prophetic, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY tackles the enduring theme of man's place in the universe. On the moon an enigma is uncovered. So great are the implications that, for the first time, men are sent out deep into the solar system. But, before they can reach their destination, things begin to go wrong, horribly wrong...

Pobeda na jednom omladinskom kvizu vodi glavnog junaka u čudesan splet pustolovina na samim međama Zemlje - u svemirsko predvorje naše planete koje smo mi već uveliko, i izvan naučne fantastike, počeli da ispunjavamo prvim mostobranima. Ostrva na nebu nisu ništa drugo do prve orbitalne postojbe, a Klark u ovom romanu ne ponire u metafizička raskrilja drugih dimenzija, već elemenat čudesnog, fantastičnog gradi sasvim prepoznatljivim potezima, oslanjajući se na čaroliju i neobičnost jednog čovekovog novog prirodnog staništa, svemira.
