  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 Island of Doctor Moreau" and "The War of the Worlds," two of the most popular and thrilling science fiction novels ever created...together in one volume.  First, meet poor, marooned Edward Prendick as he tries to navigate the strange and bizarre island where he has been stranded; an island that has become the secret lair and hidden laboratory where the enigmatic Doctor Moreau conducts his unnatural and inhuman experiments.  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?

  Catrin and Rhys travel to Windsor Castle for their third medieval mystery together... 
  August 1284. On the heels of King Edward's triumph over Wales, the high point of his reign thus far, he receives the worst news possible: his eldest living son and heir to the throne of England has died. Concerned that his victories in Wales, and even more the means by which he came by them, have brought the wrath of the Almighty down upon his house, King Edward sends Catrin and Rhys to Windsor Castle to investigate. 
  But although they find victims and villains aplenty, their far greater test—of friendship, loyalty, and allegiance—is managing the expectations of a grieving king, who fears his son was murdered—and fears even more that he wasn't. 
  Paladin is the third book in The Welsh Guard Mysteries.
