The songs of Distant Earth: Arthur C.Clarke

Hey,
This is gonna be my first post...infact..in the entire blog!!
Well,
This book is one that comes from one of the "Big three" of science fiction, Arthur. C. Clarke.
Firstly, I have read quite a few works of Clarke, like Rendezvous with Rama & Space Odeyssey:2001...typical science fiction.
Those are infact classical science fiction today..but, one thing I got hold by chance was "The songs of distant earth".
The one word I get to describe this one is...Underplayed...
There is ofcourse the mandatory science fiction element...but, Clarke dealing with emotions is a rare one that I found in this one...Clarke is not brilliant in doing this...but nevertheless, comes out quite well on it. The finish is really brilliantly constructed, though it may seem to be coming suddenly, it adds substance to the story...

Science fiction guys, try to read this one...This would definitely not be on top..but it is a must read for those who begin science fiction...

That's it about the book...
