In Clarke's first published full-length science fiction novel, renowned science fiction writer Martin Gibson joins the spaceship Ares, the world's first interplanetary ship for passenger travel, on its maiden voyage to Mars. His mission: to report back to the home planet about the new Mars colony and the progress it has been making.First published in 1951, before the achievement of space flight, Clarke addresses hard physical and scientific issues with aplomb—and the best scientific understanding of the times. Included are the challenges of differing air pressures, lack of oxygen, food provisions, severe weather patterns, construction on Mars, and methods of local travel-both on the surface and to the planet's two moons.

WHEN THEIR TRADE IS TREACHERY WAS FIRST PUBLISHED IN MARCH 1981, IT IMMEDIATELY BECAME A SENSATIONAL NUMBER ONE BEST-SELLER, MAKING HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD WITH ITS INSIDE STORY OF TREACHERY AND COVER-UP IN HIGH PLACES. CHAPMAN PINCHER'S REVELATION THAT A FORMER HEAD OF M15, SIR ROGER HOLLIS, HAD BEEN SUSPECTED BY HIS COLLEAGUES OF BEING A SOVIET SPY AND TWICE SUBJECTED TO OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION, WAS CONFIRMED BY MARGARET THATCHER FROM THE DISPATCH BOX OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. IN THIS NEW EDITION OF THE BOOK, CHAPMAN PINCHER HAS ADDED MUCH FASCINATING NEW MATERIAL THAT HAS COME TO LIGHT AS A RESULT OF HIS REVELATIONS. HE NOW NAMES SEVERAL IMPORTANT FIGURES WHO HAD PERFORCE TO REMAIN UNIDENTIFIED IN THE FIRST EDITION. HE ALSO DESCRIBES THE TWO ENQUIRIES ORDERED BY THE PRIME MINISTER-THE FIRST INTO THE BRITISH SECURITY SERVICES, AND THE SECOND INTO HOW HE OBTAINED HIS INFORMATION. PUBLICITY SURROUNDING THE REVELATION ABOUT SIR ROGER HOLLIS HAS PERHAPS OBSCURED THE TRULY SENSATIONAL NATURE OF THIS BOOK, FOR CHAPMAN PINCHER HAS SECURED THE MOST AUTHENTIC, FIRST-HAND ACCOUTNS OF THE WORKINGS OF ESPIONAGE AND COUNTER-ESPIONAGE EVER PUBLISHED. NO WRITER HAS EVER BEFORE PENETRATED SO DEEPLY AND AUTHORITATIVELY INTO THIS WORLD.

History

Pincher, Chapman

Robot believers at the far end of the galaxy endeavor to create a true religion, but their efforts could be shattered by a shocking revelation. Far in the future, on the remote planet End of Nothing, sentient robots are engaged in a remarkable enterprise. They call their project Vatican-17: an endeavor to create a truly universal religion presided over by a pope, whose extreme godliness and infallible artificial intelligence are fed by telepathic human Listeners who psychically delve into the mysteries of the universe. But the great and holy mission could be compromised by one shocking revelation that threatens to inspire serious crises of faith among the spiritual, truth-seeking robotic acolytes while tearing them into warring religious factions; for the Listener Mary is claiming that she has just discovered Heaven. 
There are those among the Clifford D. Simak faithful who consider Project Pope his masterpiece. But whether the crowning literary achievement of a multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning science-fiction Grand Master or merely another brilliant novel of speculative fiction to stand among his many, Simak's breathtaking search for God in the machine ingeniously blends science and spirituality in a truly miraculous way that few science fiction writers, if any, have been able to accomplish.
