  Two of the greatest science fiction classics of all time...in one collection!  H.G. Wells (1866 -1946) - the master of the genre - created his "scientific romances" and set the standard for futuristic literature that teemed with both social commentary and a prescient view of the world to come.  Here, we present "The Time Machine" and "The War of the Worlds," two of the most popular and thrilling science fiction novels ever created...together in one volume.  First, meet The Time Traveller as he climbs into his fantastical machine and slingshots himself far into the future; so far that he reaches a point where humanity as we know it has ceased to exist and the world has become an unspeakably frightening and dangerous place.  Then...follow the Narrator as he describes the unthinkable: a deadly and terrifying invasion of Earth by the inhabitants of Mars.  The Martians enjoy the advantage of superior technological advances combined with a ruthless desire to conquer humanity and enslave them.  Can mankind survive?  Enjoy these two classics by the "father of science fiction."  This volume includes a brief biography of the author.

  Corporate lawyer Elizabeth Carlyle is under a lot of pressure. Her prestigious New York law firm is working on the most high-stakes case in company history defending a prominent bank. When Elizabeth gets the news that one of her junior associates has lost his phone—and the secret documents that were on it—she needs help. Badly. Enter ex-CIA officer Valencia Walker, a high-priced fixer who gets called in when governments, corporations, and plutocrats need their problems solved discretely. But things get complicated when the missing phone is retrieved: somebody has already copied the documents, and now they're blackmailing the firm. When the situation gets murkier still—hinting that darker forces may be churning below the surface—Elizabeth and Valencia must maneuver and outmaneuver whomever is behind this and, most importantly, keep their hands clean. This is a world of private security, private diplomacy, and private justice. A sharply drawn cast of characters—dirty lawyers, black-market traders, Russian criminals, and extrajudicial actors—all take part in this breakneck tour through New York. Authentic, tense, and impossible to put down, Clean Hands gives a vivid look at the connections between corporation, government, and underworld.
