From Library Journal
Published in 1953, 1952, and 1979, respectively, this trio of novels follow Clarke's recurring theme of humans thrusting themselves into space and then not necessarily liking what they find. The religious images that run throughout Clarke's work also are present here.

-The New York Times Book Review
"Clarke once again sounds his grand theme...man is most himself when he...challenges the very laws of the universe."
