The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, The First Men in the Moon, The Time Machine; Arcturus, 2020

From H. G. Wells, the father of science fiction, come four thrilling tales of the future.

In The War of the Worlds, Martian invaders appear on Earth armed with an array of terrifying killing machines and threaten the very survival of the human race. Horror lurks closer to home in The Invisible Man as an embittered scientist turns himself invisible and his humanity begins to disappear too. The First Men in the Moon turns our attention to the stars and the electrifying possibilities of space travel while warning that what we find there may not be what we expect. Remarkable discoveries await in The Time Machine, but beware, the denizens of the far future also have their own agenda...

Extraordinarily imaginative, outstandingly crafted, and filled with stunning insights about the morality of scientific progress, these stories were the first of their kind and still rank among the best.
