    Oops! lol.
    This was supposed to be a rough draft, but I accidentally set it to public this morning! So there are a few mistakes, but oh well ITS OUT NOW! lol
    One correction, Thalassa actually means 'sea' in greek. I think that is where Clarke got the name from.

      He was a man of the sea and the stars so it's not surprising he would use a name like that. really enjoyed this. Been a Clarke fan since I was a boy. A long time.

    This is one of my favorite Arthur C. Clarke novels. It's very different from his others, and you can tell he wrote it on a beach in Sri Lanka. Great relaxing read.

      It's been said that SODE was Clarke's favorite. That's saying something!

    Loved it! Have read the book "several" times, and I love it.
    Coupled together with Mike Oldfields album with the same name as the book "The Songs of Distant Earth"..You'll have the best of..ehrm, both worlds.
    Thank you for posting a beautiful story..My favourite part is the story about Mirissa..She is for years, looking at the brightest star in the nightsky, the plumes from the engines of starship Magellan..And she saw it just before her eyesight failed her..
    The book is great, and you're narration is just great!

    This was the title of a Mike Oldfield album. I had no idea it was based on a book.

    With a bit of tweaking, this could fit in the world of "Rescue Party".

    Very well narrated, may I suggest adding AI interpreted text into your visual landscapes to augment them not replace them.

      Thats a good idea.
      TBH I started using it just to avoid copyright strikes since I was basically just taking any pic I could find that would work before that. lol

    QUESTION: What music did you use at the end? 😅 it’s beautiful and haunting.

      TY!!!
      The final 2 songs are "no one in sight" by Jon Bjork, and "progression" by Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen.

    Every time I see the name Arthur C Clarke I automatically assume Clarke Ashton Smith (Maybe the “c” and “a” make my brain mix them up at a glance) ... but I can say I’ve never regretted my mistake lol
    Very different writers but both enjoyable.

    I've been looking for a story where a space traveller comes back to earth and everyone is young and he is old because they have been using teleportation or something. Sorry it's not much to go off but any help finding it would be appreciated
