- Synopsis
- A futuristic tale of intergalactic love and politics from the legendary &“colossus of science fiction&” and creator of 2001: A Space Odyssey (The New Yorker). In the year 2276, Duncan Makenzie travels from Saturn&’s moon, Titan, to Earth as a diplomatic guest at the United States&’ Quincentennial. As a member of Titan&’s &‘First Family&’ descended from the moon&’s original settlers five hundred years before, Duncan finds himself welcomed back to Mother Earth and into Washington&’s glittering political and social scene. But Duncan isn&’t just on Earth for ambassadorial reasons. Haunted by the memory of a woman from Earth he once loved, Duncan is also on a mission to continue his family line . . . despite a devastating genetic defect. A tour-de-force of vivid characterization, futuristic vision, and suspense, Imperial Earth is one of Arthur C. Clarke&’s most ambitious and thought-provoking novels. &“Clarke at the height of his powers.&” —The New York Times
