The Songs of Distant Earth

Arthur C. Clarke returns with an epic tale of discovery and lost utopia set on Thalassa, a world of scattered islands in a boundless ocean. Centuries ago, when Earth's sun exploded, automated Mother Ships carried humanity to distant worlds, establishing small colonies across the stars. The inhabitants of Thalassa have thrived in paradise, surrounded by unimaginable beauty and abundance—yet they remain ignorant of the monumental evolutionary forces at work around them.
