H G Wells Science Fiction Omnibus, (Unabridged) the Time Machine, the War of the Worlds, the Shape of Things to Come, the Invisible Man, the Island of (Hardcover)

H. G. Wells (1866-1946), alongside Jules Verne, has been given the title "Father of Science Fiction" In 1898 he wrote the War of the Worlds: "Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment." This became perhaps the first widely read modern science fiction stories. Disturbingly the story foretold things to come - robotics, World Wars, aerial bombing, tanks, chemical weapons, and nuclear power. Wells was part prophet and part pessimist and often his science fiction stories offer a bleak future for humanity. This Omnibus edition is a must-read for any H G Wells fan and includes the following stories: The Time Machine The War Of The Worlds The Shape Of Things To Come The Invisible Man The Island Of Doctor Moreau The First Men In The Moon The Food Of The Gods In The Days Of The Comet
