The Great Science Fiction Store Free commerce icons. An omnibus of all four of the greatest science fiction novels of H. G. Wells. In the space of less than four years, H. G. Wells (1866 1946) published four of the most influential, original, and hair raising works of science fiction. In a life of tireless experiment, travelling, and intellectual engagement, Wells was both a leading public figure and one of the great imaginers of the modern world, but his reputation was always dominated by these amazing novels: The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds. Each is great in its own right, but they also became the 'books of Genesis' for entire genres of speculative fiction. This omnibus allows them to be read together, perhaps for the first time allowing the full range of Wells's achievement to be understood.
