London: Macmillan, 1906. Later Paperback. A very good copy. Wells' famous tale of the coming of a comet and the euphoria that it causes with humanity. A few nicks and some surface wear and rubbing. A couple of stains, and creasing to the spine. Internally bright. H.G. Wells (1866-1946) needs no introduction, without him the world of speculative fiction would have been much different. Prolific across many genres, his early work in what is now science fiction helped establish the notion of postulating what might happen if some element of scientific understand, often one thing, was a little more advanced or altered, be it time travel, evolution, invisibility, atom splitting. What resulted is a series of foundational works of fiction that are still taproots today. Very Good. Item #11689
