Book description
Revenge was all Leadford could think of as he set out to find the
unfaithful Nettie and her adulterous lover. But this was all to change
when a new comet entered the earth's orbit and totally reversed the
natural order of things. The Great Change had occurred and any
previous emotions, thoughts, ambitions, hopes and fears had all been
removed. Free love, pacifism and equality were now the name of the
game. But how will Leadford fare in this most utopian of societies
...? H. G. Wells was responsible for an entirely new genre of writing.
It was his bold, daring and hugely innovative books that first
introduced readers to the concept of time travel, invisibility,
genetic experimentation and interstellar invasion - ideas that have
gone on to inspire future generations and given rise to the entire
science fiction industry.
Born Herbert George Wells in Kent in 1866, H. G. Wells was an
outspoken socialist and pacifist, whose works caused some controversy.
He is more widely known as a science fiction writer for the novels that
he published between 1895 and 1901: The Time Machine, The Island of
Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, When the
Sleeper Wakes and The First Men in the Moon. All, except for When the
Sleeper Wakes, have been made into films. Along with Jules Verne, H. G.
Wells is also known as  the Father of Science Fiction . His later
novels were more realistic and he wrote many genres, including
contemporary novels, history and social commentary. H. G. Wells died in
1946.
