Childhood's EndThe inspiration for the Syfy miniseries. Childhood's End is one of the defining legacies of Arthur C. Clarke, the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey and many other groundbreaking works. Since its publication in 1953, this prescient novel about first contact gone wrong has come to be regarded not only as a science fiction classic but as a literary thriller of the highest order. Spaceships have suddenly appeared in the skies above every city on the planet.
The inspiration for the Syfy miniseries. Childhood's End is one of the defining legacies of Arthur C. Clarke, the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey and many other groundbreaking works. Since its publication in 1953, this prescient novel about first contact gone wrong has come to be regarded not only as a science fiction classic but as a literary thriller of the highest order. Spaceships have suddenly appeared in the skies above every city on the planet. Inside is an intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior alien race known as the Overlords. At first, their demands seem benevolent: unify Earth, eliminate poverty, end war. But at what cost? To those who resist, it's clear that the Overlords have an agenda of their own. Has their arrival marked the end of humankind . . . or the beginning? Praise for Childhood's End"A first-rate tour de force."--The New York Times "Frighteningly logical, believable, and grimly prophetic . . . Clarke is a master."--Los Angeles Times "There has been nothing like it for years; partly for the actual invention, but partly because here we meet a modern author who understands that there may be things that have a higher claim on humanity than its own 'survival.' "--C. S. Lewis "As a science fiction writer, Clarke has all the essentials."--Jeremy Bernstein, The New Yorker

Buy the Insurance
I had to use my insurance plan to replace my iPad case. Initially I was sent back to the merchant because I was supposed to be covered under their warranty but to no avail. Once I informed Asurion they sent me the return label along with the instructions which were extremely easy to follow. I selected my drop off location after packing the case back up and within 24-48 hours I received my refund.
Now the one downside I do not like (and it may be user error) was that the funds went to my Amazon account as a gift card. It says you can transfer the funds to your bank card from there but I did not see that option nor was it easy to find. So maybe adding instructions on how to transfer from the gift card back to your original form of payment in an easy to locate/navigate location would make this a 5 star ⭐️ review.
Overall, for what I paid for the insurance versus what I would have paid to replace the case is worth the value of the plan for my money in my books!
Smart shoppers protect their money! I will ALWAYS add the insurance when it is offered. I am seriously contemplating just doing the monthly payment for the amount of stuff I buy from here.
In other words buy the insurance… It’s totally worth it!
