HG Wells was the first great science fiction writer and the novels and stories he wrote asked such key fundamental questions about the future, role and morals of humanity that they are as relevant now as they were when he set them down.
The eight novels and one volume of short stories in this collection explore some of the grandest ideas in fiction: war from the heavens, the effects of change and mutation, the scientist as visionary and madman, the evolution and end of the human race.
