The Overlords appeared suddenly over every city - intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior to humankind. 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. To those who resist, it becomes evident that the Overlords have an agenda of their own.

As civilization approaches the crossroads, will the Overlords spell the end for humankind...or the beginning?

BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction by Hugo Award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer, who explains why this novel, written in the 1950s, is still relevant today.

Opinie krytyków

"In Eric Summerer's capable hands, the plot of Childhood's End is smoothly presented and fully credible. He highlights the patient nature of the Overlords, which has caused humans to become ever more complacent. Summerer excels at delivering the aliens' quiet and intensely engaging dialogue with people. His nuanced performance creates a growing feeling of uneasiness in the listener as the Overlords' insatiable curiosity and watchfulness begin to suggest something less than benign at work."

This really is one of Clarke's best efforts. Unbelievable it was written in the 1950s. This is utterly believable. Well read and hugely entertaining.

Really enjoyed this book, it is full of surprises and difficult to stop listening. The audio presentation is excellent as well.

Outstanding

Every science fiction book is influenced by the time during which it is written, but here some concepts and habits are mentioned that completely destroy the illusion. The story itself is heavily focusing on the metaphysical. The style is OK, but not impressive.

very dated and definitely not a must-read
