Reviews

Locus...
There's a slightly old-fashioned quality to his speech that compliments Wells' old-fashioned brand of science fiction ... rises above the source material, making these audio editions a great way to experience these two classics.

Even before the 20th century began, his fiction and articles explored invisibility, interstellar travel, time travel, and genetic experimentation. His novel, The War of the Worlds was serialized in the American magazine Cosmopolitan, and later turned into a famous radio drama by Orson Wells.
