Review:
Written in 1956, it stands up well today. Great concept, spot on science and technical details. This is my first A.C. Clarke read and it won’t be my last.
Ending was a little contrived, characters a little too heroic, but this was the standard for SF in the golden age. Particularly in its treatment of women yet still 1950s housewives. Great fun though!
