Sinopse

A deviously brilliant inventor is out to control the world in this 1904 thriller by the pioneering science fiction author.Reports of strange occurrences in the mountains of South Carolina have reached the desk of government agent John Strock. Though the Blue Ridge Mountains are not volcanic, rumblings and smoke have led some to fear an eruption. Then new reports emerge of unidentified objects racing across air, land, and water at incredible speeds. Behind it all is a mastermind named Robur whose ambition is as boundless as his genius. On his quest to stop Robur, Agent Strock is taken captive and finds himself onboard the Terror: a single vehicle with capacities far beyond anything mankind has seen before. Though global powers offer Robur enormous sums for his invention, he chooses to keep it—and its unrivaled power—for himself.

    "It's my party I can be here, Mass," said the drunk reaper. 
    "You're drunk, you shouldn't come in," said Max Starfire. 
    "I'm not drunk! I didn't know you had a twin?" said the reaper looking at an invisible nonexistent man induced by drink. 
    "I don't I'm an only child," said Max nervously as the reaper pushed passed him. 
    Mortimer sat with his widow she knew who he was it was awkward.

    What separates man from beast? The answer lies in the blood-soaked laboratory of a mad genius.
    
    Shipwrecked and alone, Edward Prendick is cast ashore on a remote Pacific island only to discover a terrifying secret. He finds himself under the care of the infamous Doctor Moreau, a brilliant but disgraced physiologist who has abandoned civilization to pursue his gruesome experiments. H. G. Wells, the pioneer of modern science fiction, plunges you into a dark, visceral tale where Moreau's scalpel has done the unthinkable: creating hideous, suffering Beast Folk from animals.
    
    Feel the horror and the deep unease as Prendick navigates a world governed by the chilling "Law"—a tenuous thread holding the primal chaos at bay. This intense, philosophical thriller is a masterpiece of early body horror, exploring profound themes of vivisection, ethics, and the savage nature lurking beneath humanity's thin veneer. It is a thrilling, unsettling, and unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness.
    
    A towering achievement in the H. G. Wells collection and a relentless look at scientific hubris, this book is essential reading for fans of dark literature and speculative fiction.
