Voice Across the Sea

Clarke, Arthur Charles

Harpercollins

The story of Island in the Sky centers around a young man, who, after brilliantly winning a space-related competition, requests a vacation on a space station as his prize. It is written with Arthur C. Clark's obvious knowledge of science, but moves at a page turning rate throughout the entire narrative. The short novel gives a realistic possibility of work and play in future space, heightened with constant excitement and action.

The Exploration of Space (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Exploration of Space One most encouraging fact about the spectacular and dramatic events of the last few years is the way in which they have confirmed all the basic predictions and calculations of the astronautical theorists, who had been in error only in being too conservative. In revising this book, I have done my best to avoid the same fault; it will be interesting to see, ten years from now, how successful I have been. The present book has been prepared for the benefit of all those who are interested in the why and how of astronautics yet do not wish to go into too many scientific details. I believe that there is nothing in this book that the intelligent layman could not follow he may encounter unfamiliar ideas, but that will be owing to the very nature of the subject, and in this respect he will be no worse off than many specialists.

Brought up by skin divers from the lonely reef off Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), they told of an ancient shipwreck. And then a lump of coral split open to reveal coins - the ship had carried treasure. Arthur Clarke, award-winning science-fact-and-fiction writer, and skilled diver helped mount an expedition to explore the wreck and recover the treasure. Battling time and weather, piratical snoopers and government suspicion, they dove and dove again for riches and equally precious knowledge of the past. Arthur Clarke spirited reports this unique adventure - including the strange accident that nearly took his life. Illustrated with almost 100 black-and-white photographs and 16 pages of color pictures never published before. The Library Journal called this "delightful, informative, adventurous".
