<p><strong>Volume 3&mdash;The Sleeper Awakes ' The First Men in the Moon</strong></p><p>For those who know anything of the most outstanding British authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the name of Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) needs little introduction, for he wrote on many subjects. He is principally remembered as one of the &lsquo;Fathers of Science Fiction&rsquo; and this six volume Leonaur collection focuses upon his writing in that genre&mdash;from the strange to the fantastical and scientifically prophetic&mdash;with which he will forever be associated. These wonderful and dramatic stories have been gathered together in these attractive, good value volumes in chronological order of original publication.</p><p>In &lsquo;The Sleeper Awakes&rsquo; (1899) a man falls asleep for over two hundred years and on awakening in a dystopian London discovers that as a result of compound bank interest he is the wealthiest man on earth. His adventures propel him to leadership of a movement fighting for liberation from tyrannical rulers. The scientific romance &lsquo;The First Men in the Moon&rsquo; (1901) tells the fantastic story of two men who journey to the moon to discover it is populated by the Selenites&mdash;a race of insect-like alien creatures.</p><p>Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.</p>
