"Arthur C Clarke is considered the greatest science fiction writer of all time and is an international treasure in many other ways, including the fact that an article by him in 1945 led to the invention of satellite technology. Books by Mr. Clarke both fiction and nonfiction have more than one hundred million copies in print worldwide. He lives in Sri Lanka."

From "Childhoods End" , Ballantyne Books, New York, first printed 1953.

Arthur C. Carke had the rare ability to combine advanced scientific theories with good old fashioned story telling. He managed to take his readers on previously unimaginable journeys out into the universe - while at the same time revealing both humanitys faults and its remarkable potential. I have no doubt that generations to come will revere his name as a future prophet whose technological and cultural predictions predated actuality in the manner of a 20th century Leonardo Di Vinci.

Arthur C. Clarkes work, much like his life, transcended borders and stereotypes. He will be remembered for hundreds - if not thousands - of years to come.
