Divided between the tensions of behind-the-scenes preparations in London and the drama of the launch-pad in Australia, this vintage Arthur C. Clarke novel recounts the events leading up to an epoch-making interplanetary space flight.

Precise in his recording of facts, perceptive in his intuitions, Clarke’s historian hero is the ideal narrator of this epic chain of events.
