| Re: Childhood's End
Got to agree that I like Clarke's work because it always seems to have believable science in it (or at least Clarke makes it all sound possible).
Like Steven Baxter too though and kind of look on him as a modern day Clarke.
Childhood's End is a great read although maybe a bit dated now. Loved the sudden rude awakening mankind was given and I was intrigued by the notion of "future memories" which made the aliens have such a frightening appearance for humans.
For me, the award winning first Rama book was easily the best and the collaboration ones did not even come close. |
