Science Fiction by آرثر سي كلارك

Blurb

Islands in the Sky is a 1952 science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke. It is one of his earliest and lesser known works. Clarke wrote the story as a travelogue of human settlement of cislunar space in the last half of the Twenty-First Century.
This is one of the thirty-five juvenile novels that constitute the Winston Science Fiction set and which were published in the 1950s for a readership of teen-aged boys. The typical protagonist in these books was a boy in his late teens who was proficient in the art of electronics, a hobby that was easily available to the readers. In this case, though, Roy Malcolm is in expert in aviation, its history and technology.
