The Best of Hal Clement (1979) is a collection of SF stories by the author. It contains an introduction, ten tales, and an afterword.
- Introduction: Hal Clement: Rationalist by Lester del Rey summarizes the influence of this author on the SF genre. Del Ray points out the puzzle aspect of so many of his shorter works. Yet science always advances by solving puzzles.
- “Impediment” (Astounding, 1942) is about aliens who can sense radiation emitted from synaptic junctions.
- “Technical Error” (Astounding, 1943) explains how a crew destroyed two ships.
- “Uncommon Sense” (Astounding, 1943) follows a student of alien cultures while he tries to regain control of his ship.
- “Assumption Unjustified” (Astounding, 1946) involves two aliens landing of Earth with only a dated manual to describe the inhabitants.
- “Answer” (Astounding, 1947) presents a basic problems with understanding the human mind.
- “Dust Rag” (Astounding, 1956) describes the problems in Plato Crater.
- “Bulge” (WoIf, 1968) exposes a criminal gang to the tides.
- “Mistaken for Granted” (WoIf, 1974) relates a basic difference between Luna and Earth.
- “A Question of Guilt” (Year’s Best Horror, 1976) concerns the efforts of man whose children have hemophilia.
- “Stuck with It” (Stellar, 1976) entangles an explorer in a social conflict.
- Afterword by the author gives some background on these stories. He claims to be conservative and contrary.
These tales are hard science fiction. As mentioned in the introduction and afterword, only faster-than-light travel is allowed in his stories just for the convenience of reasonable travel times.

I hit 48k on the drop-down out of habit, these files are actually 32k, not the best tape rips ever, but bearable.
That’s it, all the Hal Clement I could find, hope to see some more contributions to my Clement collection :-)

Vamps, thanks for bringing back these oldies. Most of them were written when I was a kid.

Thank you, to a large part torrents for me are used to get suggestions on what to read. Uploaders like you who makes me think of a new name that i remember yet have not considered for ages are particularly useful. Much appreciated

I remember I read Technical Error in a collection of short stories years ago and I liked it. I’ll listen to the audiobook happily. Thanks!

Thanks Vamps. I am a Hal Clement fan and these early stories bring back fond memories. I do happen to have the original books in my collection. I happen to be 66 years old and I no longer can read so well, “HEARING” them is the best thing ever. Once again thank you.
