description: The title piece in this collection of short fiction inspired one of the most famous science-fiction movies of all time, 2001: A Space Odyssey . Yet, as impressive as "The Sentinel" is, it is just one of nine brilliant, innovative stories included here. Arguably the most distinguished figure in the genre, Arthur C. Clarke brings his usual masterly touch to "Rescue Party," "Guardian Angel," "Breaking Strain," "Jupiter V," "The Refugee," "The Wind from the Sun," "A Meeting with Medusa," and "The Songs of Distant Earth." Includes 10 plates by Lebbeus Woods, plus introductions to each story by Clarke himself.
