H. G. Wells 
H. G. Wells The Dover Reader [EPUB ebook] 

Trained in science and as a teacher, H. G. Wells (1866–1946) harbored a passionate concern for political issues. Wells’s interests are reflected in his pioneering works of science fiction, which involve time travel, space exploration, alien invasion, and experiments gone awry. A century later, his tales of obsession, revelation, and discovery remain compellingly readable and relevant.This anthology offers readers complete and unabridged versions of Wells’s most influential novels: The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and The Invisible Man. In addition, five famous short stories include "The Country of the Blind, " "The Purple Pileus, " "The Crystal Egg, " "The Door in the Wall, " and the first tale to address bio-terrorism, "The Stolen Bacillus."
