Interior text

Beyond the horizon

The Other Side of the Sky — life on the moon, a stretch in a space-station, romance on distant planets — these ingredients of life in the fabulous future are brilliantly woven into extraordinary stories that combine scientific knowledge with literary excellence.

Arthur Clarke, one of the most distinguished science-fiction writers in the world and a noted scientist in his own right, has blended imagination and fantasy into suspenseful entertainment that previews the world of tomorrow.

"His books and articles on both science fiction and fact are already becoming classics in their field. The stories are a sheer delight."
— Christian Science Monitor

"Mr. Clarke has not only imagination but common sense ... having in mind that trip to the moon, you can learn here, in half a dozen stories, what to expect when you get there."
— New York Herald Tribune
