synopsis: Gathered together in one hardcover volume are three timeless novels from the founding father of science fiction. The Time Machine (1895), the first great novel to imagine time travel, follows its scientist narrator on an incredible journey that takes him to Earth's last moments - and perhaps his own. In The Invisible Man (1897), a scientist who discovers how to turn invisible will also discover all but too late that he has become unmoored from society and from his own sanity. The War of the Worlds (1898) - the seminal masterpiece of alien invasion imagines a fierce race of Martians who devastate Earth and feed on their human victims while their voracious vegetation, the red weed, spreads over the ruined planet. Here are three classic science fiction novels that, more than a century after their original publication, show no sign of losing their grip on readers' imaginations.
