Order of Arthur C. Clarke Books
Sir Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008) was a British science fiction writer, inventor, and visionary who earned his place among the genre's legendary "Big Three" alongside Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein. Working primarily in hard science fiction, Clarke became internationally renowned for 2001: A Space Odyssey, his masterpiece that was simultaneously developed into a groundbreaking and highly praised film.
Clarke's literary career began in 1937 with the publication of his debut short story "Travel by Wire!" His first full-length work, Against the Fall of Night, appeared in 1948 and was later extensively reworked and republished as The City and the Stars. Throughout his prolific career, Clarke also collaborated with several notable authors on various projects.
His collaborative works include Cradle, Rama II, The Garden of Rama and Rama Revealed (written with Gentry Lee), Richter 10 (with Mike McQuay), Beyond the Fall of Night (with Gregory Benford), The Trigger (with Michael P. Kube-McDowell), The Time Odyssey series (with Stephen Baxter), and The Last Theorem (with Frederik Pohl).
Notable publishing details: Against the Fall of Night underwent significant revision to become The City and the Stars, while Prelude to Space was later retitled as Master of Space and subsequently The Space Dreamers.
