Prendick must find a way through this madness and find his way back to civilisation - or die trying, Thsi gripping novel from science fiction pioneer H.G. Wells challenges readers with some profound and unsettling questions: are there limits to our ambition? Do we dare meddle with life itself? And what (if anything) is it that sets us apart from the animals?A new foreword sets the context for this ground-breaking novel from the father of Science Fiction and traces its roots from the monster-creators Dr Frankenstein and Henry Jekyll to its modern offspring in Jurassic Park and elsewhere, exploring time-honed themes of arrogance, pride and humility.A Wyldblood Classics edition.
