About This Item
Huntington Woods, MI: Phantasia Press, 1982. First edition. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket in a cloth slipcase. (30884). Octavo, cloth. One of 650 numbered copies signed by Clarke. In this sequel to 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968), "a joint Russian/American expedition to Jupiter resurrects HAL and discovers life on Europa; then the intelligence controlling the monoliths of 2001 begins to move in its characteristically mysterious way, sending a messiah to Earth to save humankind and issuing a new commandment forbidding access to Europa. The combination of technological realism and awed mysticism works as well in these novels as anywhere else in Clarke's work, and the religious imagery is even more pronounced than in CHILDHOOD'S END (1953)." - Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-254. Made into a film in 1984 directed by Peter Hyams. Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 4-110.
