The inspiration for the Syfy miniseries.

Childhood's End is one of the defining legacies of Arthur C. Clarke, the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey and many other groundbreaking works. Since its publication in 1953, this prescient novel about first contact gone wrong has come to be regarded not only as a science fiction classic but as a literary thriller of the highest order.

Spaceships have suddenly appeared in the skies above every city on the planet. Inside is an intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior alien race known as the Overlords. At first, their demands seem benevolent: unify Earth, eliminate poverty, end war. But at what cost? To those who resist, it's clear that the Overlords have an agenda of their own. Has their arrival marked the end of humankind . . . or the beginning?

Praise for Childhood's End

"A first-rate tour de force."--The New York Times

"Frighteningly logical, believable, and grimly prophetic . . . Clarke is a master."--Los Angeles Times

"There has been nothing like it for years; partly for the actual invention, but partly because here we meet a modern author who understands that there may be things that have a higher claim on humanity than its own 'survival.' "--C. S. Lewis

"As a science fiction writer, Clarke has all the essentials."--Jeremy Bernstein, The New Yorker

You get what you pay for
Size: 54C, Color: Black
It's really nice n a great bra until u realize that the straps also have hooks, n the hooks keep coming undone n your boobs hanging out. Beware ladies you have to be big n also tall to wear this if not prepare n don't keep your important things in your bra bc if you're like me, u wanna keep the important things close to u. You will lose everything and not even realize it

Works for me!
Size: 44DD, Color: French Blue Lace
This is a great bra for large breasts. Fits well and straps are nice. No major issues with fit or style. I do wish they had a few more colors though.

Not the greatest bra
Size: 54G, Color: Nude
Straps aren’t adjustable. Scraped my hands a few times on the prongs. Doesn’t offer much support and doesn’t lift. It’s a little to big for my size. Should have gone smaller. Sometimes it’s kind of itchy. Definitely too big for me. I might try something else that doesn’t have lacy straps that itch. It’s somewhat comfortable.

Great weekender
Color: Beige, Size: 17 Inch
Great size for weekend travel. I love the look. Zippers are strong. Material is also strong. I've received many compliments on the bag. Easy to carry. Love that it has a side handle. I do miss that there are no side pockets, but great bag overall.
