Herbert George Wells (1866-1946), writing on such topics as time travel, genetic experimentation, invisibility and interstellar travel (all before the turn of the 20th century!) is rightfully known as The Father of Science Fiction (or "science romances", as he called them).

Some of Wells’ masterpieces include: The Time Machine (1895); The Island of Dr. Moreau (1895); The Invisible Man (1897) and The War of the Worlds (1898), which was so compelling to audiences that even 40 years after publication, Orson Welles' famous theatrical radio adaptation about the alien invasion was enough to start a panic across the country.

During his own time he was recognized as one of the world's most distinguished men of letters and today is remembered as one of the most influential authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
