A Fall of Moondust

Rating:
Summary: Great science fiction
Review: This was one of the first science fiction stories I ever read, as a keen young 11 year old, and I have never forgotten it. It is a classic of the genre, and is still believable and interesing today.

The characters are well drawn, and the science is detailed and interesting. I guess it is comparable to a good old fashioned disaster story, and it is this element that would make the story appealing even to those who don't care for science fiction.

Arthur C Clarke has always been a great writer, and this is a wonderful story. It will keep you riveted until the very end.
