Herbert Wells - The Time Machine
The story that launched Wells's successful career-the classic tale of the Time Traveler and the extraordinary world he discovers in the far distant future.
It had been one of the worst crashes in airline history, killing over 300 people and leaving only one survivor. Now the dead were buried and the town of Eton tried to forget. But one man could not rest. Keller had walked from the flames of the wreck, driven on by unseen forces, seeking the answer to his own survival - until the town was forced to face the shocking, dreadful truth about what was buried in the old graveyard...and a truth Keller did not want to believe.
Others is a dark exploration into the psyche of the eternal outsider, a tormented freak in a cruel society. Gory, but brilliantly conceived, Herbert will leave you feeling haunted long after reading his final words.
