The War of the Worlds (Enriched Classics Series) »

"Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe," H. G. Wells once said. Widely revered as the father of science fiction, the English novelist, journalist, sociologist, and historian penned ominous -- and educated -- glimpses at humanity's possible future, including The Time Machine (1895), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898).

Two books in one, this volume contains both of H. G. Wells' most popular science fiction classics: The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds. Journey with the Time Traveller to the distant future where the beautiful, decadent Eloi and the vile Morlocks hold the earth in their sway. The War of the Worlds remains the definitive tale of the first encounter and clash of alien and human civilizations. When the Martian cylinders fall from the sky and release the terrible tripod fighting machines, it seems that earth's invaders are bent entirely on the extermination of humanity.
