Left of Africa

COVER BLURB:
Some authors you like and some authors you love. From the day I first read Needle I new thar Hal Clement was an author I loved. I heard at one of Joe Green's fabled pre-launch parties of an unpublished Hal Clement novel. I had to read it and, having read it, had to publish it. Here it is: Left of Africa.
Some writers write a few great etories and a lot of bad ones. One writer in a hundred hits the beat of your own different drummer and makes you want to read every word he has ever written. For me, Heinlein is one of these special writers, so is Larry Niven, so is Hal Clement.
Left of Africa was written before Cycle of Fire and after Mission of Gravity. It is not science fiction. It is a juvenile historical adventure. But it has that same breath of pure reason that makes Hal Clement's science fiction great.
Hail Clement has written all too little. I find myself going back to Needle, to Mission of Gravity, again and again. Here is something by Hal Clement that you have never read before. Read and enjoy.
Left of Africa is about, among other things, a scientific discovery, one of the most basic scientific discoveries of all time. People have called Arrowsmith science fiction for less, but what we have instead is clesely reasoned, scientifically accurate fiction, another breed of cat but just as enjoyable in its own way.
