Link to article (http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/news/arthur-c-clarkes-last-words-ndash-from-beyond-the-stars-860869.html) about the book.
He gave the world 2001: A Space Odyssey and the concept of the intelligent computer in the form of the murderous Hal. He predicted geostationary satellites and space stations. Now, four months after his death, Arthur C Clarke prepares to dazzle the world one final time when his last novel is published.
The Last Theorem was bought for a six-figure sum by the publisher HarperCollins earlier this year. Due to Clarke's ill health, the book was finished by the respected science-fiction author Frederik Pohl, who, like Clarke, holds a Grand Master award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
The novel outlines a plot by aliens to invade Earth; an astronomy student's obsession with Fermat's last theorem; a UN bombing campaign; and another of Clarke's predictions – space elevators. The concept involves a huge cable connecting the Earth to orbital altitude, along which elevators can be launched using electromagnetic vehicles.
