I’m pleased to see that Neil McAleer’s biography Arthur C. Clarke: Odyssey of a Visionary biography has finally reached the Kindle, after years of waiting, as a May 2022 affordable ebook. This is the latest and possibly final version of a major biography that’s been through many iterations and revisions.

Also now in affordable Kindle ebook is Arthur C. Clarke (Modern Masters of Science Fiction). An up-to-date and very well-reviewed survey of Clarke’s entire output, by fellow writer Gary Westfahl. I’m not yet sure if he notes any Lovecraft influence, in passing, or not.

This 2018 Westfahl book also includes a chapter surveying the fiction and non-fiction concerned with sea exploration and future aquaculture, an abiding interest and sub-theme in Clarke’ work. Now what’s needed are good audiobooks of his real-life underwater adventure / travel-writing trilogy Coast of the Coral; The Reefs of Taprobane; and Treasure of the Great Reef. Plus the exploration history / futurology book The Challenge of the Sea. His boys’ novel of sci-fi/ocean adventure Dolphin Island and his aquaculture sci-fi for adults The Deep Range (novel length version) already have good audiobook readings.
