The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds (A Reader's Library Classic Hardcover)

by H. G. Wells

Overview

It never was a war, any more than there's war between man and ants.

Considered one of the father's of Science Fiction, H. G. Wells was a prominent and influential author of the late 19th century and early 20th century. Two of his greatest novels come together in this beautiful hardcover edition of The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds.

The Time Machine: When an English Scientist, known only as the Time Traveller, invents a machine that can travel through time, the most logical outcome would be to test such a machine. After a trial run that saw him travel three hours into the future, the Time Traveller pushes further into the future to year 802,701, where he meets a mellow race of humans called the Eloi. Soon he discovers that the Eloi are not the only human race left on earth...

The War of the Worlds: Humans vs. Martians. Conventional weapons vs. the dreaded Heat-Ray and poisonous black smoke. It's not the survival of one person at stake. It is the survival of all humanity.

A classic unlike anything the world had yet to see, The War of the Worlds takes you into late 19th century England where a full-scale Martian invasion has begun.
