Arthur C. Clarke was considered to be the greatest science fiction writer of all time. He was an international treasure in many other ways: an article he wrote in 1945 led to the invention of satellite technology. Books by Mr. Clarke - both fiction and nonfiction - have more than one hundred million copies in print worldwide. He died in 2008 at the age of 90.

On Mars a dedicated group of pioneers - among them some of Earth's finest brains - struggle to change the face of the planet. The Mars of this novel has no fabulous cities or exotic princesses; it is the planet which modern science has revealed to us, and the book's authenticity provides a far greater excitement than would fantasy. Against this background, Arthur C Clarke has woven a thrilling story about a group of very real people, to show that amidst the wonder of future science, human nature will stay very much the same. A startling, prophetic novel by the author of '2001: A Space Odyssey':- (original cost £0.75). Seller Inventory # 17.012.00036
