The best collection ever of Arthur C. Clarke's short fiction,
including the stories on which 2001: A Space Odyssey and
Childhood's End were based. The Sentinel is a magnificent
retrospective showcase of Arthur C. Clarke's finest shorter
fiction. Spanning four decades of writing, this book includes many
gems of a genius at the height of his powers. The title piece is
the story that inspired 2001. 'Guardian Angel' is a rarely
anthologised work that gave birth to Childhood's End, and 'The
Songs of Distant Earth' is the original version of Clarke's own
favourite novel. Along with other vaulting tales of imagination are
fascinating introductions telling the history of each story from
conception to completion. From one of the greatest science-fiction
writers of all time. The Sentinel is one of those all-too-few
collections that must be read, re-read, then treasured.
