Description

H. G. Wells was the grandfather of SF, and novels such as THE TIME MACHINE and WAR OF THE WORLDS defined the genre. Following Gollancz's previous omnibus, this second collection contains more of H.G. Wells' best-loved works, and is perfect for collectors and aficionados of great SF. IN THE DAYS OF THE COMET, MEN LIKE GODS, THE SLEEPER AWAKES and THE WAR IN THE AIR are defining works. This beautiful edition is illustrated by Les Edwards.

Author description

H.G. Wells was born in Bromley, Kent in 1866. After working as a draper's apprentice and pupil-teacher, he won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in 1884, studying under T.H. Huxley. It was with THE TIME MACHINE (1895) that he had his real breakthrough. Today he is regarded as one of the all-time greatest authors of science fiction.
