To commemorate the fast-approaching arrival of one of the most notable dates in science fiction history comes this special anniversary edition of The Sentinel, a brilliant collection of Clarke's highest caliber short fiction. Among the ten stories included in this volume are:
"The Sentinel": The story that inspired 2001: A Space Odyssey, one of the most famous SF movies of all time
"Guardian Angel": The rarely-glimpsed work that gave birth to Childhood's End
"The Songs of Distant Earth": A fantastic tale of first contact with an alien world, which became the basis for one of Clarke's most successful novels
"Breaking Strain": The inspiration for the popular book series Arthur C. Clarke's Venus Prime
