  Short stories from the science fiction master—including the tale that inspired 2001: A Space Odyssey.   These stories present a brilliant showcase of Arthur C. Clarke’s many-layered approach to the moral dilemmas of scientific advancement—from the thrilling and brutal “Breaking Strain” to the more poetic and thoughtful “Second Dawn.” Also included is “The Sentinel”—the basis for the classic Stanley Kubrick film 2001: A Space Odyssey.   This outstanding collection reminds us that the author of Childhood’s End was not only a giant in the world of science fiction, a recipient of multiple Nebula and Hugo Awards, and an incomparable storyteller, but also a “skilled literary artist” (Hartford Courant).   “I do not know of any short story that has moved me more than Arthur C. Clarke’s ‘If I Forget Thee, Oh Earth.’” —The Christian Science Monitor

  In 1890 the renowned explorer Sir Richard Burton could sense his impending death . . . until he was suddenly alive, young and strong in the year 1864. Though it is a past he remembers well, it is decidedly different from what he had experienced. Then he is reunited with his friend, the poet Algernon Swinburne, who is equally nonplussed at being somehow transported into his former self at the moment of death. 
   
  Before long, Burton and Swinburne—joined by other brave compatriots—find themselves pulled to and fro by the streams of time in an adventure that may decide the fate of humanity. For the technology of time travel has fallen into the wrong hands. England’s ruling class are transforming England into a nightmare where those in power—along with their merciless clockwork enforcers—oppress and enslave the masses. 
   
  Now, to save themselves, England and the entire world, Burton and his friends will have to find a way to heal the damage time travel has done to it.

  Fee of The Frontier

  Fee of the Frontier by H. B. Fyfe	- They didn't think of themselves as pioneers. They simply had a job to do. And if they had to give up money, or power, or love—or life itself—that was the FEE OF THE FRONTIER 
  From inside the dome, the night sky is a beautiful thing, even though Deimos and Phobos are nothing to brag about. If you walk outside, maybe as far as the rocket field, you notice a difference. 
  Past the narrow developed strip around the dome, the desert land lies as chilled and brittle as it did for eons before Earthmen reached Mars. The sky is suddenly raw and cruel. You pull your furs around your nose and check your oxygen mask, and wish you were inside something, even a thin wall of clear plastic. 
  I like to stand here, though, and look out at it, just thinking about how far those ships grope out into the dark nowadays, and about the men who have gone out there on a few jets and a lot of guts. I knew a bunch of them ... some still out there, I guess. 
  There was a time when nearly everything had to be rocketed out from Earth, before they organized all those chemical tricks that change the Martian crops to real food. Domes weren't fancy then. Adequate, of course; no sense in taking chances with lives that cost so much fuel to bring here. Still, the colonies kept growing. Where people go, others follow to live off them, one way or another. It began to look like time for the next step outward. 
  Oh, the Asteroids ... sure. Not them. I did a bit of hopping there in my own time. In fact—on account of conditions beyond my choice and control—I spent too much time on the wrong side of the hull shields. One fine day, the medics told me I'd have to be a Martian for the rest of my life. Even the one-way hop back to Earth was "not recommended." 
  So I used to watch the ships go out. I still remember one that almost missed leaving.
