Hal
Clement is a Grand Master of SF, and the one most associated with the subgenre
of hard SF. From his classic stories in Astounding in the 1940s through his
novels of the 1950s and on to the recent "Half Life," he has made a lasting
impression on SF readers, and on writers, too. For many of them, Clement's work
is the model of how to write hard SF, and this book contains the reasons why.
Here are all the tales of bizarre, unforgettable Mesklin: the classic novel
"Mission of Gravity" and its sequel, "Star Light," as well as the short stories
"Under"and "Lecture Demonstration." Also included is "Whirligig World," the
famous essay Clement published in Astounding in 1953. It describes the rigorous
process he used to create his intriguingly plausible high-gravity planet, with
its odd flattened shape, its day less than eighteen minutes long, and its
many-limbed, noble natives. Come to Mesklin and learn why "The Encyclopedia of
Science Fiction" called "Mission of Gravity" "one of the best loved novels in
SF."
