Arthur C. Clarke The City And The Stars 1953 Paperback
Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR & RARE---------------THE CITY AND THE STARS by Arthur C. Clarke.
Men
had built cities before, but never such a city as Diaspar; for
millennia its protective dome shut out the creeping decay and danger of
the world outside. Once, it held powers that ruled the stars. But then,
as legend had it, The Invaders came, driving humanity into this last
refuge. It takes one man, A Unique to break through Diaspar’s stifling
inertia, to smash the legend and discover the true nature of the
Invaders.
