About this listen

A collection of stunning short stories from the most acclaimed Science Fiction author of any generation. Arthur C Clarke is without question the world's best-known and most celebrated science fiction writer. His career, spanning more than sixty years, is one of unequalled success. Clarke has always been celebrated for his clear prophetic vision, which is fully on display in this audiobook, but there are also many stories which show his imagination in full flight, to the distant future and to far-flung star systems. The third volume in a collection of five.

It’s many years since I devoured all I could find by Arthur C Clarke. I’m delighted to find these stories nestle comfortably in the 21st Century. They’re beautifully read too. A delight.

Timeless

On the whole an excellent collection and certainly very entertaining. My main criticism - and it's a personal taste issue - is that the 'Tales from the White Hart' were rather dominant in this volume. They were fun, on the whole, but not my taste in Sci Fi. I preferred Volume 2.

A few too many 'Tales from the White Hart'?

Good performances and a decent selection of stories, although not my favourite collection of Clarke's short stories.

But really, a short story collection with just numbers for chapter titles!? It's lazy production and makes it huge pain to find out what's in it (you literally have to listen to the first few seconds of each chapter, or minutes in the case of the first one because they didn't bother to separate the preface either) and also to find a particular story. Even paper books have a contents page!

Good readers, reasonable selection but NO TITLES!

With a collection of short stories it's hard to give a single opinion on how good it was. some of these deserve a full book/film/TV series made of them and others I skipped after a few minutes. Over all worth a look because you can skip to a new story at any point but you will be disappointed when a story with great potential ends after 30 minutes.

A mixture of enjoyable works
