Synopsis
Few masters of science fiction have brought us glimpses of the near future as vividly as Arthur C. Clarke. It is the startling realism of his vision that has made classics of his Childhood's End and 2001: A Space Odyssey -- and Clarke himself one of the genre's most successful writers. To commemorate the fast-approaching arrival of one of the most notable dates in science fiction history comes this special anniversary edition of The Sentinel, a brilliant collection of Clarke's highest caliber short fiction. Among the ten stories included in this volume are: "The Sentinel": The story that inspired 2001: A Space Odyssey, one of the most famous SF movies of all time "Guardian Angel": The rarely-glimpsed work that gave birth to Childhood's End "The Songs of Distant Earth": A fantastic tale of first contact with an alien world, which became the basis for one of Clarke's most successful novels "Breaking Strain": The inspiration for the popular book series Arthur C. Clarke's Venus Prime With an introduction and notes by the author Illustrations by internationally acclaimed visionary architect Lebbeus Woods

    Feedback coming from someone who used to spend hours packaging items she sold on eBay… The listing perfectly described the item, and this is exactly what arrived. Being able to contribute to a worthy cause by purchasing with this seller… priceless. But the thing that blew me away… I have NEVER seen so much care and effort put into ensuring items arrive safely through top of the line packaging! 🤯 This was so appreciated!!! I will purchase from them again, and highly recommend anyone doing so.

    Amazing seller! The Justice League Unlimited figures arrived fast, perfectly packaged, and exactly as described. What really impressed me is that this seller supports St. Jude by giving part of their profits to help kids in need. It feels great to know my purchase went toward an incredible cause while also adding great pieces to my collection. Excellent communication, fast shipping, and a big heart. I would gladly buy from this seller again and recommend them to everyone. Great value
