Review:
"Wells revisits the Martian invasion scenario, this time (1937) not in metal war machines but with cosmic rays turning humans into Martians. Though the story is somewhat comical, Wells always has a serious point disguised in his sf format. Wesleyan offers a scholarly, annotated edition."--Library Journal, Classic Returns section

Herbert George Wells, better known as H. G. Wells, was an English writer best known for such science fiction novels as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau. He was a prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and produced works in many different genres, including contemporary novels, history, and social commentary. He was also an outspoken socialist. His later works become increasingly political and didactic, and only his early science fiction novels are widely read today. Wells, along with Hugo Gernsback and Jules Verne, is sometimes referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction".
