    This sumptious hardback collects five of the greatest science fiction novels of all time - The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon and The Invisible Man - all written by the genius that was HG Wells. I won't comment further on the quality of the included novels as they are all rightly famous for the foresight and creativity that Wells displayed in constructing his various future worlds. These are books that everyone really should read. I actually owned four of them in old and rather battered Penguin classics editions but was delighted to recieve this hardback omnibus for Christmas as it is a superbly crafted collector's edition. This weighty volume feels great to hold and the bold red cover and striking gold lettering give it a truly 'classic' appearnace. This is a great volume to have on your shelf.

    This collection includes The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon and The Invisible Man, all collected in a stunning leather-bound omnibus. Five of the best science fiction novels by the Grandfather of Science Fiction: unsurpassed in their timeless capacity to thrill and transfix, these are tales that reach to the heart of human ambition, fear, intelligence and hope. The Time Machine was Wells' first major piece of fiction: a haunting vision of a far future earth orbitting a sun cooling to extinction. The War of the Worlds: still considered by many to be the best novel of alien invasion ever written The Island of Doctor Moreau: with its terrible creation The House of Pain, this tale anticipated our terror of genetic engineering. The Invisible Man: the classic study of scientific hubris. The First Men in the Moon: a Scientific Romance, a fantastical voyage a dystopian nightmare revealed.
