Volume 5--A Modern Utopia & In the Days of the CometFor those who know anything of the most outstanding British authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the name of Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) needs little introduction, for he wrote on many subjects. He is principally remembered as one of the 'Fathers of Science Fiction' and this six volume Leonaur collection focuses upon his writing in that genre--from the strange to the fantastical and scientifically prophetic--with which he will forever be associated. These wonderful and dramatic stories have been gathered together in these attractive, good value volumes in chronological order of original publication.In 'A Modern Utopia' (1905) two adventurers travel to a planet 'out beyond Sirius' to experience a society in which their own doubles exist. 'In the days of the Comet' (1906) a bizarre green comet enters the Earth's atmosphere releasing a soporific fog. Upon awakening humankind has been forever changed promoting a healthy, contented and peaceful society.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

He is principally remembered as one of the 'Fathers of Science Fiction' and this six volume Leonaur collection focuses upon his writing in that genre--from the strange to the fantastical and scientifically prophetic--with which he will forever be associated. These wonderful and dramatic stories have been gathered together in these attractive, good value volumes in chronological order of original publication.'The War in the Air' (1906) is a prophetic military science fiction novel that heralded the coming of the First World War and the new dimension of aerial warfare. A true worldwide war comes about as a result of a German attack on the United States of America which escalates as the Asian powers engage their own forces. 'The World Set Free' (1914) predicts a new incredibly destructive weapon which with hindsight suggests the effects of the atomic bomb though on a more personal scale.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

This is the first new complete literary biography of H G Wells for thirty years, and the first to encompass his entire career as a writer, from the science fiction of the 1890s through his fiction and non-fiction writing all the way up to his last publication in 1946. Adam Roberts provides a comprehensive reassessment of Wells’ importance as a novelist, short-story writer, a theorist of social prophecy and utopia, journalist and commentator, offering a nuanced portrait of the man who coined the phrases ‘atom bomb’, ‘League of Nations’ ‘the war to end war’ and ‘time machine’, who wrote the world’s first comprehensive global history and invented the idea of the tank. In these twenty-six chapters, Roberts covers the entirety of Wells’ life and discusses every book and short story he produced, delivering a complete vision of this enduring figure.

FOUR OF THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVELS BY THE GRANDFATHER OF SCIENCE FICTION H. G. Wells Greatest Novels Collection showcases the remarkable literary genius of H.G. Wells, a pioneer of science fiction and visionary storytelling The Time Machine: When the Time Traveller courageously stepped out of his machine for the first time, he found himself in the A.D. 802,701, and everything had changed. In this unfamiliar, utopian age creatures seemed to dwell together in perfect harmony. The Time Traveller thought he could study these marvelous beings-unearth their secret and then return to his own time-until he discovered that his invention, his only avenue of escape, had been stolen. The War of the Worlds: When an army of invading Martians lands in England, panic and terror seize the population. As the aliens traverse the country in huge three-legged machines, incinerating all in their path with a heat ray and spreading noxious toxic gases, the people of the Earth must come to terms with the prospect of the end of human civilization and the beginning of Martian rule. The Island of Doctor Moreau: Adrift in a dinghy, Edward Prendick, the single survivor from the good ship Lady Vain, is rescued by a vessel carrying a profoundly unusual cargo - a menagerie of savage animals. Tended to recovery by their keeper Montgomery, who gives him dark medicine that tastes of blood, Prendick soon finds himself stranded upon an uncharted island in the Pacific with his rescuer and the beasts. Here, he meets Montgomery's master, the sinister Dr. Moreau - a brilliant scientist whose notorious experiments in vivisection have caused him to abandon the civilised world. It soon becomes clear he has been developing these experiments - with truly horrific results. The Invisible Man: This masterpiece of science fiction is the fascinating story of Griffin, a scientist who creates a serum to render himself invisible, and his descent into madness that follows.
