FROM THE FRONTISPIECE:

This collection starts with a thrilling short novel about a race of creatures whose minds have far outstripped their bodies' capabilities. And it ends with a beautiful short story that hints at a far universe which has been watching us grow, waiting to contact us as soon as we reach the moon. Between these two stories you will find other sterling examples of the ingenuity of plot, height of imagination, the humor and thoughtfulness that are making Arthur C. Clarke a favorite with a large and rapidly growing audience.
