The Time Machine

<p><strong>The revolutionary novel that catapulted readers into the future, from the father of science fiction, H.G. Wells.&nbsp;</strong><br /><br />"I've had a most amazing time...."</p> <p>So begins the Time Traveller's astonishing firsthand account of his journey eight hundred thousand years beyond his own era&mdash;and the story that launched H. G. Wells' successful career. With a speculative leap that still fires the imagination, Wells sends his brave explorer to face a future burdened with our greatest hopes...and our darkest fears. A pull of the Time Machine's lever propels him to the age of a slowly dying Earth.

Thanks to Wells' expert storytelling and provocative insight, <em>The Time Machine</em> will continue to enthrall readers for generations to come.</p> <p><strong>With an Introduction by Greg Bear</strong><br /> <strong>and an Afterword by Simon J.
