Editorial Reviews

"Undoubtedly, Wells is a canny storyteller - one of the most skillful ones of his generation. "

"Great classic stories that set the stage for future works by many speculative fiction authors."

"Short stories, of varying quality and lenght. I'm always amazed, reading old science fiction, how clever the author have been, and what foresight they have had."

"This is a collection of vivid and descriptive tales that takes you to the ends of the universe and to the beginning and end of time. Wells has created (and recreated) different places within the universe and takes the reader back to man's beginning and forward to a world within the city limits."
