Arthur C Clarke’s Last Novel
The Last Theorom, due on bookstore shelves August 6, is the final novel from Sci-fi giant Arther C. Clarke. Clarke passed away in April at the age of 90. With him, the golden age of science fiction is becoming a distant but fond memory to some. Isaac Asimov, and many other prolific writers of the genre and the time are already gone. Like the classic actors of the silver screen, few are left.
One man determined not to let the 100 pages Clarke started to fade away is Frederik Pohl, author of the Boy That Lived Forever and other titles. As Asimov’s health and memory started to fade, Pohl, 89 years old himself, took on the task of deciphering Clarke’s penmanship. He fashioned the writing into a complete novel, making it Clarke’s last novel and last collaboration.
While still in relatively good health, we don’t know how many more times we will hear from Pohl in book form as well.
I am looking forward to this book with great interest. For fans of classic 50s and 60s science fiction, it will be a treat.
