Explanation Concering Books The Songs of Distant Earth

Just a few islands in a planetwide ocean, Thalassa was a veritable paradise—home to one of the small colonies founded centuries before by robot Mother Ships when the Sun had gone nova and mankind had fled Earth. Mesmerized by the beauty of Thalassa and overwhelmed by its vast resources, the colonists lived an idyllic existence, unaware of the monumental evolutionary event slowly taking place beneath their seas... Then the Magellan arrived in orbit carrying one million refugees from the last, mad days on Earth. And suddenly uncertainty and change had come to the placid paradise that was Thalassa.

Meh. Really, this book has almost no tension or conflict. There was nothing to look forward to at the end. Nothing to resolve. Just forgettable characters and a lazy plot that could have been so much more. There are many very interesting ideas and questions about humanity that could have been pursued. But the effort seemed only half-hearted.The synopsis of the book at the top of its entry in Goodreads is more interesting to read.

A fable about two societies in which the one who managed to emerge in a far-away panthalassic planet called Thalassa from human and contemporary creatures seed-ships which were sent by Earth People to nearby various habitable planetary systems in case they didn't make it before the sun goes into Nova, and the other society who had sent the seed-ships in the first place who managed not to annihilate amidst the chaos and chose to wander the stars from the solar system to furthering the survival of

A utopian human colony in the far future that is visited by travelers from a doomed Earth, as the Sun has gone nova.The story is set in early 3800s, on an oceanic planet called Thalassa. Thalassa was populated by an embryonic seed pod, one of many sent from earth when humans discovered that the sun would go nova and burn earth and all the solar system.700 years after it's population, Thalassa is visited by a seed ship that was sent from dying earth on it's way to a distant planet. As

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick, interesting read. However,I didnt connect with the characters. I seem to have this problem with many books written by male authors, especially in sci-if that isnt new. Certainly, Ive connected deeply with the characters in books by some male authors; Im just saying the lack of connection isnt uncommon for me when I read male authors. Does that make sense? Anyhow, I certainly wasnt ever tempted to put the book aside. I liked it.

I decided that one of my favorite thing about Clarke's books (read 6 so far) is his faith in human kind. I enjoy his utopias he obviously envisioned we will achieve with further development of technology. Some readers say nothing happens in this book/even his other books. I think those are completely missing the beauty of his opus. Miracles of unbeliavable vision happen. The Utopia of Thalassa (and yet so realistic) and the last Millenia of Earth are stories withing a story. And of course the

As a fan of both science fiction and Arthur C. Clarke, I must admit that I was disappointed with this book.There were some positive aspects to this book. The writing style is characteristic of Clarke with it's convincing descriptions of science fiction worlds and technology. There is also a fairly convincing romantic relationship that developed in the story. I especially enjoyed how this relationship was not of the usual sort but rather based on post-WW2 progressive/liberal notions of sexual

It is an OK book, but I must admit I was left slightly disappointed by it. In truth, I was expecting something much more remarkable and less forgettable by one of the creators of the "Space Odyssey" masterpiece. The characters are bland, there is no trace of the sense of awe and of epic exploration of a beautiful and enigmatic Cosmos that so pervaded Space Odyssey, and the society of Thalassa bored me to tears. The plot feels incompletely developed - there are some interesting and promising
