The Time Machine + The Invisible Man + The War of the Worlds

H. G. Wells

Sinopse

H. G. Wells's trilogy, comprising *The Time Machine*, *The Invisible Man*, and *The War of the Worlds*, offers a rich tapestry of speculative fiction that interrogates the human condition through the lens of science and morality. Each narrative is a masterclass in literary style, blending vivid storytelling with sharp social commentary, showcasing Wells's deft command of the genre. *The Time Machine* explores the consequences of social stratification in a future world, while *The Invisible Man* delves into themes of isolation and the perils of unchecked ambition. *The War of the Worlds* serves as a poignant reflection on imperialism and human survival amidst extraterrestrial chaos, employing an exciting yet disquieting prose that remains resonant in contemporary discussions of technology and society. H. G. Wells, often revered as the father of science fiction, was influenced by the tumultuous socio-political landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An education in biology and economics underpinned his writing, infusing his works with a critical examination of science, progress, and their implications for humanity. His visionary ideas were not only prescient but also aimed at provoking thought on ethical dimensions of scientific advancements during his era. This collection is essential for readers who seek to understand the roots of modern science fiction. Wells's ability to weave complex themes within thrilling narratives invites readers to ponder deeper questions about society, humanity, and progress. Engaging and thought-provoking, this anthology is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, science, and philosophy.

The Alpha Who Saved Me

Stacy Rush

They came in and wiped out my pack, leaving me an orphan at the age of fifteen, but then Alpha Declan came in and saved me, bringing me into his own pack. I've been living with the Storm River pack for three years now, training and learning how to fight, so when the time comes, I can kill the Alpha that took my family and pack away from me.But what do you do when you start to fall for the one who saved you to begin with? The one that took you under his wing when you had nothing left? The one who kissed you first, and made you feel things that you didn't feel before? I shouldn't be with him; he isn't my mate. I've yet to scent my mate, but Declan is too delicious to pass up. He's already saved me once, but can he save me from falling for him when I know my Goddess-given mate is out there somewhere?
 
I feel us moving and then I’m being placed on the hood of his Tesla. This puts me so my core is up against his hardness, and oh my Goddess, he feels monstrous! It’s a good thing that I’m not his mate, because I don’t think I’d be able to take it. It doesn’t stop me from rubbing against it, though, as tingles begin to form, and I moan.“That’s it, sweetheart, rub yourself against me and come for me. I want to see what you look like when you fall apart in my arms.” His command washes over me and I come instantly.

Alpha Nicholas - Marked As Your...

Becky J

"The first night I saw you I fought every emotion, every instinct and I was a fool for doing it. The moment I laid eyes on you I should have claimed you, thrown you over my shoulder and brought you up to our room to mate and mark you. You should already be wearing my mark and officially be known as the Luna of this pack but I didn't do any of that. Instead, I walked away like a fucking idiot and worst of all I hurt you when I had no right to. Every day I wish I could go back to that day and change how I reacted but I can't, and so now I have to pay for my behaviour and that means waiting until you are ready to accept me as your mate and my Luna, until you are ready to wear my mark."
 
In Book 2, secrets about Tony’s mother, Adrian’s fate, and the rogue Alpha’s disappearance begin to unravel—revealing a truth far darker than they ever imagined. As Alpha Nicholas and Bonnie’s bond deepens, they must face not only their own fears and desires, but a growing darkness that threatens to tear them apart.
