Amazing Epic Journey

So much to take in. These stories are an absolute treasure of insights into the human condition: the hopes of becoming better than we are, the depths of our own depravity and selfishness, the weakness and strength of emotions, and of course, our ethereal bonds to one another. One can almost experience the three dimensional characters as ourselves, suffering, making decisions, making mistakes, etc. The tension at times is palpable, page turning, and nothing short of a roller coaster ride mentally. There is a reason why Arthur C Clarke is a national treasure and one of the true fathers of modern science fiction.
