Johnson (Marseilles, Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME) This review is from: The Complete Science Fiction Treasury of H. G. Wells (Hardcover) This fascinating book is a collection of seven of H.G. Wells' (1866-1946) works of science fiction. Originally published in 1934, this book contains a preface by the great H.G. himself. After that, the book goes right into the stories, all of which are thought-provoking and quite interesting to read. Mr. Wells did not simply write stories to entertain; instead, each one uses the scientific angle to teach a lesson. So, if you are a fan of great literature, or great science fiction, then this book is for you. I highly recommend it. By the way, the seven stories in this book are: The Time Machine - 1895 - A dinner party is disrupted when the host arrives all disheveled, and telling what he found when he ventured into the far future. The Island of Dr. Moreau - 1896 - A castaway finds himself on an island inhabited by unnatural seeming people and ruled by a mad scientist. The Invisible Man - 1897 - When a strange, bandaged man moves into town, tongues begin to wag. But, when strange things begin to happen, the town soon finds itself facing a nightmare in the form of an invisible man. The War of the Worlds - 1898 - The Martians have exhausted the resources of their planet, and decide to take the Earth as their new home. Can man, with his most advanced technology hope to stop the Martians with their much more advanced technology? The First Men in the Moon - 1901 - When an adventurous young man and an eccentric inventor use a fantastic invention to travel to the Moon, they find more than they bargained for. The Food of the Gods - 1904 - A newly discovered food has a strange effect, it makes those that consume it grow to monstrous proportions. And, when it gets accidentally released, a new breed of humans is born. But, in the socially constricted world of the time, where do they fit in? In the Days of the Comet - 1906 - As the creaking world of the old order begins to come apart at the seams, a comet is pointed right towards the Earth - it is a wake up call for the entire human race.
