H.G. WELLS: THE SCIENCE FICTION COLLECTION

That the moon is different from H.G. Wells's description doesn't matter a whit while listening to this marvelous collection of five classic tales from the famously imaginative author. Introduced by self-described Wells fan-boy Eli Roth, the stories are each read by a different British narrator in a feat of perfect casting. David Tennant's glottal Scots accent suits the shock of the Martian invasion in THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. Alexander Vlahos channels wonder and panic on his journey in THE FIRST MEN IN THE MOON. Hugh Bonneville offers narrative gravitas to the scientist in THE TIME MACHINE. In THE INVISIBLE MAN, Sophie Okonedo portrays everyone from young woman to old man. And Jason Isaacs is the king of adventure in THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU. A.C.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2019]
