HarperCollins has snapped up the rights for the late science fiction author Arthur C Clarke's final book, The Last Theorum. Chris Smith, editorial director for HarperFiction, bought UK and Commonwealth rights from Georgia Glover at David Higham.
The book had originally been scheduled for publication by Gollancz, but the rights recently became available. The book will be published later this year in hardback and as a deluxe collectors' edition. HC also plans to relaunch its Clarke backlist.

While exploring abandoned military barracks at Kessler AFB in Mississippi, Davis and his friends discover the diary of Lee Harvey Oswald. Suddenly the Airmen find themselves the target of mysterious agents. As the clues surface, an evil emerges powerful enough to rewrite the entire history of humanity, not to mention kill two of his good friends.
