Ah. *sigh* Another golden age sci-fi author is gone. 90 years is a good run. R.I.P. Alan C. Clarke.

This man wrote some of my absolute favorite science fiction. He was so far ahead of his time and he will be missed.

A grand author who literally made my heart soar. He was also a great person who led an adventurous life. Almost a rennaisance man. I will miss him.

Two geniuses lost in the space of 24 hours, first filmmaker Anthony Minghella and now Sir Arthur, the world is a much poorer place for the loss of these two great men.

I only popped in on this thread to say good bye to the last of the great three sci fi authors who will be sadly missed.
 Thank you for your great books which I enjoyed reading over the years. Rest In Peace Arthur C. Clarke http://entertainment.timesonline.co....cle3579120.ece
