Space Trilogy : Three Early Novels (Gollancz S.F.)

The omnibus edition of three classic and inspirational Clarke tales ISLANDS IN THE SKY, first published in 1954, sees Roy Malcolm winning a trip to the Inner Station, a space station rotating 500 miles from Earth. THE SANDS OF MARS, set in the 21st century, has a group of pioneers struggling to change the face of this inhospitable planet. In EARTHLIGHT, two centuries hence, man has colonised the planets and the inhabitants of the Moon owe no allegiance to any nation on Earth - or to Earth itself ... This omnibus edition of three of Arthur C. Clarke's early novels shows the author of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY exploring space and time in adventurous and thoughtful ways.
