Abstract

A Penguin author since 1936, H. G. Wells once said of Penguin founder, Sir Allen Lane: 'It is delightful to find one publisher exists who does not suffer from contagious cold feet'. Wells was the founding father of modern science fiction, writing powerfully prescient tales that placed ordinary figures in incredible situations. These three stories from the greatest of modern dreamers consider the gift of sight and the possibility of using science to see vast distances, and speculate on the impending threat of biological warfare.
