The Defenestration of Ermintrude Inch
Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Orbiting …
The Longest Science-Fiction Story Ever Told
Herbert George Morley Roberts Wells, Esq.
The Steam-Powered Word Processor
The Wire Continuum (with Stephen Baxter)
‘There’s an incredible range of subject matter … much remains fresh … It almost goes without saying that this is an essential addition to any enthusiast’s library.’
Time Out
‘Nearly one thousand pages of some of the best short fiction the field has ever seen. This is probably the most significant reprint collection of the year, and it certainly deserves to be in the library of anyone who considers himself or herself a fan’
Science Fiction Chronicle
‘“The Sentinel” … is just one of the endless delights in this astonishing volume. The
Collected Stories
also contains such classics as “The Songs of Distant Earth” and the tale that many people regard as the greatest single SF short story ever written, “The Nine Billion Names of God”. Even if you have all these tales in individual volumes, this is a pretty tempting collection.’
Starburst
.
‘We get a good idea of Clarke’s development as a writer, his full range of tones from facetious or sardonic to poetic or visionary, and his success and failures as a commentator on man’s evolution. Many of the stories have dated surprisingly little, and some are still very effective.’
