*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror category and the second part of our listing for the works of Arthur C Clarke. Clarke was a scientist as well as a writer and is known as a prophet of science fact, in particular due to his predictions of communication satellites. Most famous of course for 2001: A Space Odyssey (included here), you would expect to find a fair amount of hard science in his works – what you might not expect is the engaging and entertaining style in which he wrote. His novels are real page turners that you don’t want to put down.
