Legendary author Robert A. Heinlein proclaimed, āTo read science fiction is to read Simak. A reader who does not like Simak stories does not like science fiction at all.ā The remarkably talented Clifford D. Simak was able to ground his vast imagination in reality, and then introduce readers to fantastical worlds and concepts they could instantly and completely dig into, comprehend, and enjoy.
