Ett gigantiskt cylinderformat objekt närmar sig hastigt vårt solsystem. Besättningen ombord Endeavour råkar befinna sig i närheten och lyckas landa på det. Objektet döps till Rama efter den hinduiska guden, och snart blir det tydligt att det har skapats av intelligent liv. Men var befinner sig dess besättning, och vad har de i vårt solsystem att göra? För att få svar på frågorna är det nödvändigt att kliva in i Rama och utforska dess hemligheter …

Möte med Rama är ett mästerverk inom science fiction-genren och belönades med åtskilliga priser när den gavs ut 1973, bland annat de prestigefulla Nebula- och Hugoutmärkelserna. Den fick uppföljare och har gjorts om till tv-spel, radioföljetong och snart film, för att inte tala om hur omtalad den blev när ett liknande objekt skymtades i verkligheten 2017. Boken översattes till svenska av vårt lands science fiction-nestor Sam J. Lundwall och som nu återutges tillsammans med hans initierade förord.

När den första av de hotfullt svarta monoliterna dyker upp är det hos en flock primater på den afrikanska savannen. Som av en oemotståndlig kraft dras de till den, och inom dem väcks något till liv som kommer att förändra hela planetens historia. Tre miljoner år senare befinner sig besättningen på rymdskeppet Discovery One på kurs mot Saturnus. En likadan monolit har grävts fram ur en krater på månen, och signalerna den ger ifrån sig pekar ditåt, mot den annars öde ytan av månen Japetus. Romanen 2001: en rymdodyssé skrevs samtidigt som Stanley Kubricks film gjordes och publicerades efter att filmen haft premiär 1968. De många likheterna till trots går romanen ännu djupare in i berättelsen och ger svar på många av de frågor som i filmen förblir obesvarade. Liksom filmen har romanen intagit en plats som en av de största klassikerna inom science fiction-genren. I översättning av Roland Adlerberth.
ARTHUR C . CLARKE [1917-2008], född i Minehead, var en brittisk författare, uppfinnare och futurist. Han har en rad priser uppkallade efter sig, och anses tillsammans med Robert Heinlein och Isaac Asimov vara en av de tre största science fiction-författarna genom tiderna.

Life on earth will be incinerated in April 2037 by a massive solar flare. It is building down and it is unstoppable.

The price of failure? Extinction.One scientist, an expert on the sun, predicted the flare. One person who knew nothing about the sun nevertheless knew the exact date that life on earth would come to an end. She had witnessed the bizarre time dislocations brought by the 'eyes'. She knows who is responsible.This is hard SF in the grand tradition of the genre.

A stunning new companion series to 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY from the world's most important SF writer and his acknowledged heir1885, the North West Frontier. Rudyard Kipling is witness to a bizarre encounter between the British army and what appears to be an impossibly advanced piece of Russian technology. And then to a terrifying intervention by a helicopter from 2037. Before the full impact of this extraordinary event has even begun to sink in, Kipling, his friends and the helicopter crew stumble across Alexander the Great's army. Mankind's time odyssey has begun.It is a journey that will see Alexander avoid his premature death and carve out an Empire that expands from Carthage to China, beating the time-slipped army of Ghenghis Khan in a battle outside the ruins of Babylon in the process. And it will present mankind with two devastating truths. Aliens are amongst us and have been manipulating our past and our future. And that future extends only as far as 2037, for that is the date Earth will be destroyed.This is SF that spans countless centuries and carries cutting edge ideas on time travel and alien intervention. It shows two of the genre's masters at their groundbreaking best.

In the most exciting SF collaboration ever, Arthur C. Clarke and his universally acknowledged heir Stephen Baxter pool talent, fantastic ideas, unprecedented cosmic insights as well as page-turning plotting skills and breathlessly good writing to produce the most awesome novel of the future since 3001.’Space is what keeps everything from being in the same place. Right?’ With these words Hiram Patterson, head of the giant media corporation OurWorld, launches the greatest communications revolution in history. With OurWorld’s development of wormhole technology, any point in space can be connected to any other, faster than the speed of light. Realtime television coverage is here: earthquakes and wars, murders and disasters can be watched, exactly as they occur, anywhere on the planet.Then WormCams are made to work across time as well as space. Humanity encounters itself in the light of other days. We witness the life of Jesus, go to the premiere of Hamlet, solve the enigmas that have baffled generations. Blood spilled centuries ago flows vividly once more – and no personal treachery or shame can be concealed.But when the world and everything in it becomes as transparent as glass and there are no more secrets, people find new ways to gain vengeance and commit crime, and Hiram Patterson finds new ways to keep his Machiavellian schemes secret.

The final work from the brightest star in science fiction’s galaxy. Arthur C Clarke, who predicted the advent of communication satellites and author of 2001: A Space Odyssey completes a lifetime career in science fiction with a masterwork.30 light years away, a race known simply as the One Point Fives are plotting a dangerous invasion plan, one that will wipe humankind off the face of the Earth…Meanwhile, in Sri Lanka, a young astronomy student, Ranjit Subramanian, becomes obsessed with a three-hundred-year-old theorem that promises to unlock the secrets of the universe. While Ranjit studies the problem, tensions grow between the nations of the world and a UN taskforce headed up by China, America and Russia code-named Silent Thunder begins bombing volatile regimes into submission.On the eve of the invasion of Earth a space elevator is completed, helped in part by Ranjit, which will herald a new type of Olympics to be held on the Moon. But when alien forces arrive Ranjit is forced to question his own actions, in a bid to save the lives of not just his own family but of all of humankind.Co-written with fellow grand master Frederik Pohl, The Last Theorem not only provides a fitting end to the career one of the most famous names in science fiction but also sets a new benchmark in contemporary prescient science fiction. It tackles with ease epic themes as diverse as third world poverty, the atrocities of modern warfare in a post-nuclear age, space elevators, pure mathematics and mankind’s first contact with extra-terrestrials.
