  • "In the near future, enormous silver spaceships appear without warning over mankind?s largest cities. They belong to the Overlords, an alien race far superior to humanity in technological development?and their purpose is to dominate the Earth. Their demands, however, are surprisingly beneficial?end war, poverty, and cruelty. Their presence, rather than signaling the end of humanity, ushers in a golden age?or so it seems. -- -- Childhood?s EndSpace Odyssey series. In 2004, the book was nominated for the Retro Hugo Award for Best Novel."@en

Benevolent, they made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. With little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began." "But at what cost? With the advent of peace, man ceases to strive for creative greatness, and a malaise settles over the human race.

  • ""El volcán que había alzado a Taratua desde los fondos del Pacífico dormía desde hacía medio millón de años. Sin embargo, muy pronto, pensó Reinhold, unos fuegos más violentos arrasarán otra vez la isla. Miró la plataforma y alzó los ojos hacia la pirámide de andamios que rodeaba aún al Columbus. La proa de la nave, a sesenta metros de altura, reflejaba los últimos rayos del sol. Era una de las últimas noches del cohete. Luego flotaría en la eterna luz solar del espacio.""@es

  • "Lange Zeit vergriffen, erscheint nun mit 'Die letzte Generation' der neben '2001 - Odyssee im Weltraum' bedeutendste Roman von Bestsellerautor Arthur C. Clarke. Mit einem neuen Prolog des Autors - ein Buch, das seinen Zauber weit über die angestammte SF-Leserschaft hinaus entfaltet! Arthur C. Clarke zählt neben Isaac Asimov und Robert A. Heinlein zu den grössten Science-Fiction-Autoren aller Zeiten. Geboren 1917 in Minehead, Somerset, studierte er nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg Physik und Mathematik am King's College in London. Zugleich legte er mit seinen Kurzgeschichten und Romanen den Grundstein für eine beispiellose Karriere als SF-Autor. Neben zahllosen Sachbüchern gehören zu seinen bedeutendsten Werken die Romane 'Die letzte Generation' sowie '2001 - Odyssee im Weltraum'. Clarke verstarb Anfang des Jahres 2008."
