War of the Worlds and the Time Machine

THE WAR OF THE WORLDS is H.G. Wells' classic chiller about a Martian attack on the Earth. It inspired Orson Welles' 1938 radio dramatization that threw the country into a widespread panic. It remains a singular and entertaining example of early science fiction.

THE TIME MACHINE is the first science fiction story dealing with time travel. It is masterfully thought out and filled with a fascinating wealth of inventiveness.
