A Meeting with Medusa (The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke, #4)

Arthur C. Clarke
3.73/5 (488 ratings)
In leading an expedition through the many-layered Jovian atmosphere in the hydrogen balloon craft Kon-Tiki, Captain Howard Falcon discovers a world where bioluminescent air plankton produce brilliant atmospheric sea-fire, predatory manta-ray creatures dominate the skies, and enormous jellyfish-like beings grow to be over a mile across.

The title story of this fourth collection from one of the genre's most celebrated authors ends with a twist-that leaves the reader questioning what it means to be human.
