The Island of Doctor Moreau and The War of the Worlds

Two of the greatest science fiction classics of all time...in one collection! H.G. Wells (1866-1946)—the master of the genre—created his "scientific romances" and set the standard for futuristic literature that teemed with both social commentary and a prescient view of the world to come. Here, we present The Island of Doctor Moreau and The War of the Worlds, two of the most popular and thrilling science fiction novels ever created...together in one volume. First, meet poor, marooned Edward Prendick as he tries to navigate the strange and bizarre island where he has been stranded, an island that has become the secret lair and hidden laboratory where the enigmatic Doctor Moreau conducts his unnatural and inhuman experiments. Then follow the narrator as he describes the unthinkable: a deadly and terrifying invasion of Earth by the inhabitants of Mars. The Martians enjoy the advantage of superior technological advances, combined with a ruthless desire to conquer humanity and enslave them.
