This landmark omnibus collects seven of H.G. Wells's most visionary works of science fiction, presenting the foundational texts of a genre that Wells himself helped define. The Time Machine chronicles a daring journey into the far future, while The War of the Worlds details a terrifying Martian invasion of Victorian England, and The Invisible Man uncovers the psychological unraveling of a scientist undone by his own discovery. The Island of Dr. Moreau confronts the moral boundaries of science through a chilling tale of vivisection and manufactured life, The First Men in the Moon imagines a fantastical lunar expedition, The Food of the Gods satirizes human ambition through a substance that causes gigantic growth, and In the Days of the Comet illustrates a utopian transformation of society following a celestial event. Written with a blend of scientific imagination, sharp social commentary, and propulsive storytelling, these novels argue that technological progress is inseparable from ethical consequence. Together, they represent the full scope of Wells's genius — a body of work that remains as intellectually provocative and compulsively readable today as when it first captivated the world. The titles featured on the cover of this H.G. Wells collection are: The Time Machine The Island of Dr. Moreau The Invisible Man The First Men in the Moon The Food of the Gods In the Days of the Comet The War of the Worlds
