Arthur C. Clarke is one of the greatest science fiction writers of the century, and surely the most celebrated science fiction writer alive. He is -- with H. G. Wells, Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein -- one of the writers who define the genre. Now, at the dawn of the year 2001, Sir Arthur C. Clarke has cooperated in the preparation of a massive definitive edition of his collected shorter works, which will be made available on audio in five chronological volumes, followed by a 10 CD volume of favorite selection and a 30 cassette gift set...the most ambitious science fiction audio project in history.This final volume in the audio version features, in addition to the 1962 title story, "The Cruel Sky", "The Steam-powered Word Processor", the classics "The Hammer of God" and "A Meeting With Medusa", and Clarke's latest story, "Improving the Neighborhood", published in Nature in 1999.
