  Exile of the Eons by Arthur C. Clarke - Exiled to an utterly remote future, Trevindor thought he suffered the ultimate punishment . . . until he met the second exile—and learned that the Universe holds things more fearful even than loneliness! 
  Arthur C. Clarke (1917–2008) was one of the most visionary and influential science fiction writers of the 20th century. Born in Minehead, England, Clarke was a scientist, futurist, inventor, and author best known for blending scientific accuracy with imaginative storytelling. He rose to international fame with his 1953 novel Childhood’s End, and cemented his legacy with 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), developed alongside director Stanley Kubrick. The novel and film explored artificial intelligence, human evolution, and the unknown depths of space, themes central to Clarke’s work. 
  A trained physicist and lifelong space advocate, Clarke predicted satellite communication decades before it became reality. His essays and stories often explored the intersection of human destiny and cosmic forces, combining awe-inspiring scale with deep philosophical questions. His prose was clear, elegant, and idea-driven—earning him a reputation as a prophet of technological progress. 
  Among his notable works are Rendezvous with Rama, The Fountains of Paradise, and The Songs of Distant Earth. He was knighted in 1998 and spent much of his later life in Sri Lanka, where he pursued his interests in oceanography and undersea exploration. 
  Arthur C. Clarke’s “Three Laws”—especially the famous third: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”—remain part of popular culture. His legacy endures in science fiction, science fact, and the dreams of generations to come.

  Big plans are afoot! Butterbean is going to become a therapist (unless maybe she means a therapy dog?). The white cat is going to do a commercial for caviar-flavored pet treats. And Wallace is moving into a great new apartment. But these plans don't include a group of rowdy raccoons taking over the loading dock and throwing the building into turmoil. 
   
   
   
  Now residents from the whole building are coming to the Strathmore Seven for help—from Second Floor Biscuit, a Yorkie with an unfortunate haircut who faces eviction for barking at the intruders, to the loading dock rats, who are feeling intimidated and upset. And even worse, Madison gets blamed for the vandalism! It's up to Butterbean and the rest of the pets to stop the raccoons and restore their friend's reputation—before it's too late.

  The Planet of Illusion

  The Planet of Illusion by Millard V. Gordon - "A phantom land and a phantom folk Come sailing out of the deep unknown With a soundless roar and a lightless flash To conquer a void for them alone." 
  "Planet sighted!" sang out Kendall, eye glued to the electro-telescope. 
  "Where away?" rang Fred Broster from his place at the controls. 
  "Five point on ten left from star. Point three seven above the elliptic," came Kendall's voice again from the forward observation window. 
  "You're daft and dreaming. Snap into it and look again," Broster yelled, staring hard at the automatically-recording space-chart. "There's nothing here but a particularly empty species of nothingness." 
  The captain's keen gray eyes stared carefully at the glowing panel before him. On it shone out tiny points of light which revealed each of the different bodies through whose vicinity the Astralite was passing. A remarkable device actuated by delicate gravital detectors which marked out every body they approached. 
  And according to this chart, there was no such planet recorded in the depths of the device as that which Kendall had sighted. 
  "I'm not dreaming. Your chart is wrong if you can't find it there," Kendall remarked after a pause, still staring through the lens of the instrument. 
  Broster examined the chart again. No; there positively was no planet circling the star as his observer claimed. 
  "Come away from there!" he called, straightening up. "Dr. Seaward, will you please take the observer's place and check." 
  Seaward dropped the calculations in hand, walked across the control room of the great interstellar explorer, up to the very tip. Kendall stood aside while the doctor applied his eye to the lens. 
  "It's there all right, Broster. A little red disk exactly where he called it off; the chart's wrong."
