The Last Theorem, Arthur C Clarke’s last book
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008I didn’t even realise there was one in the pipeline let alone it’s imminent release
“The Telegraph is running an excerpt from Arthur C. Clark’s last work, called ‘The Last Theorem.’ Fellow writer Frederik Pohl helped out. It’s a reassuring chunk of old-fashioned sci-fi, describing an Olympics that’s set on the moon. Typically for Clarkian sci-fi, is very much about the practicalities of mounting a Lunar Olympics, rather than any wild fantasy.”
The excerpt’s centerpiece is a trip to the moon that begins with a space elevator ride. The book will be published on Aug. 1.
Cool stuff, I’ll be ordering that as soon as I can find somewhere in the UK/Europe that will stock/ship it.
