Classic Geek Lit: Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End

I saw around the time of the San Diego Comics Con that the Sy-Fy Channel had produced a mini-series based on Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End.  Considered a classic novel in the genre, the news generated some excitement and even some confusion how a book of just over 200 pages could somehow produce a TV mini-series.

So, I read it the book for Gabbing Geek.  I’d never read any of Clarke’s work before, so this was something new for me.  Thoughts and potential SPOILERS after the cut.
