Tales of Ten Worlds

Not a bad little collection of short stories, some better than others as is usual. A couple of them were very good, I particularly liked the one titled 'Hate' about a pearl diver who stumbles across a crashed 'Sputnik' in the shallows of an oyster bed. Being a Hungarian, he was suitably angry at the Communist Russians and plotted a way to make the trapped pilot suffer before death from lack of oxygen. His plan backfires spectacularly.

Arthur C. Clarke wrote and collected these ten tales and all of them are good quality. necessarily short, but all interesting especially those which deal with the difference between panic and fear.

Arther C.Clark tells ten strange fiction stories.
This collection of tales takes us from Earth to Venus, to Saturn and beyond.
He said "I work in a space station. From my office. I can see the Earth twenty thousand miles away. It floats in space like a big green and blue ball."

I think this story is very interesting and thrilling!
In ten strange fiction stories, especially, I liked "Saturn Rising" because I like such a beautiful story!

Collection of stories by the Great Arthur C. Clarke. These particular stories were just average. Still, I will always read a Clarke story.

An anthology of Clarke's short stories originally published elsewhere during the late 50's and early 60's a bit dated. Many of these are also in The Nine Billion Names of God collection, but that one has the actual short story with the same name, which is one of my favorites of his. Anyway, as I often like to do with short story collections, I like to rank them individually.

Fifteen of Clarke's typically excellent science fiction short stories; many have appeared in other collections. As the blurb says, "Arthur C. Clarke has few peers and no master in this field".

The book has various stories.
And I liked Death and the Senator the best.
I wondered if I could do the same as the Senetor.
