Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Etat : Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Gordon C Davies (illustrateur). 1976 Edition. © 1951: A stand-alone novel by Arthur C Clarke. 2nd printing of 1976 edition:- Synopsis: It is the twenty-first century. On Mars a dedicated group of pioneers - among them some of Earth's finest brains - struggle to change the face of the planet. The Mars of this novel has no fabulous cities or exotic princesses; it is the planet which modern science has revealed to us, and the book's authenticity provides a far greater excitement than would fantasy. Against this background, Arthur C Clarke has woven a thrilling story about a group of very real people, to show that amidst the wonder of future science, human nature will stay very much the same. A startling, prophetic novel by the author of '2001: A Space Odyssey':- (original cost £0.75). N° de réf. du vendeur 17.012.00036
