  One would think that after the momentous events of 1969 H.G Wells’ science fiction adventure “The First Men in The Moon” would have lost any fascination for the modern reader. 
  Yet of course, Wells is never concerned merely with the mechanics of science fiction. 
  It is surely the human reaction to these events that grips us and causes us to return again and again to this story. 
  Narrated by Simon Hester, with original music.

  A Victorian scientist travels into the far future and discovers the descendants of humanity, the Eloi, living in apparent peace and tranquility. However, after his time machine goes missing, he discovers that humanity has in fact split into two distinct species, and the Morlocks are not quite so benign as the Eloi. The time traveller must arm himself and get his time machine back if he ever wants to return to his own era. 
  In this new audio version, narrator Jake Urry vividly brings this classic H. G. Wells tale to life for 21st-century audiences.
