    A young scientist unlocks the secret of life — and wishes he hadn't. Victor Frankenstein, brilliant and reckless, stitches together a creature from charnel houses and sparks it into being, then flees in horror from what he has made. But the creature is not merely a monster. He is articulate, sensitive, and devastatingly alone, cast into a world that recoils from his very existence. As creator and creation pursue each other across Europe and into the Arctic wastes, Shelley asks the questions that haunt every age of discovery: What do we owe the life we bring into being? Can ambition divorced from responsibility ever end in anything but ruin? Written when Shelley was just eighteen, this electrifying novel invented science fiction and has never stopped being relevant. It is a story about the intoxication of genius, the agony of abandonment, and the terrible cost of playing God.

    Trapped under the rubble of a shattered world, one man must survive the unimaginable horrors of a Martian occupation. 
    The towering Martian fighting-machines have devastated England, blanketing the scorched countryside in toxic black smoke and an ever-creeping, blood-red alien weed. Forced underground into the ruins of a collapsed house with a deteriorating, frantic curate, an unnamed narrator bears witness to the harrowing true nature of the Martian invaders—and their chilling method of harvesting humanity. Pushed to the brink of starvation and madness, he finally escapes his subterranean prison into a ghostly, silent London. Here, he must navigate an eerily abandoned metropolis populated only by broken survivors, feral dogs, and the mechanical titans that stand sentinel over the ashes of civilization. Will he find his missing wife, or is mankind truly reduced to mere animals waiting to be captured? 
    Why you will love this: Fans of intense, character-driven Science Fiction will be utterly captivated by H. G. Wells' unparalleled vision of apocalyptic ruin. This timeless alien contact thriller birthed the modern sci-fi survival genre, delivering breathtaking tension, stark psychological drama, and speculative biology that remains terrifyingly potent today.

    Sir Henry Rider Haggard, KBE was born on June 22nd, 1856 at Bradenham in Norfolk, England.   
    After his education he was pushed towards an Army career but failed the entrance exam. Next Haggard was positioned to work for the British Foreign Office but he seems not to have sat that exam.  Using family connections, he was sent to Southern Africa by his father in search of a further opportunity of a career. 
    Haggard spent six years there before a return to England and marriage.  He had begun to write and publish some non-fiction in Africa but it was only after studying Law in the hope it might prove to be the proper career his father wanted for him that Haggard began to write fiction, using his African experiences as the basis.   
    His first fiction was published in 1885 and the following year King Solomon’s Mines was published. It was a phenomenal success. His career was set. 
    Haggard wrote well and wrote often. He managed to sympathise with the local populations even though they were exploited and manipulated by Europeans intent on amassing fortunes in money, people and resources.  His writing career covered the great sprint to Empire of several European powers and both reflects and criticizes these events through his well-loved characters including Allan Quatermain and Ayesha. 
    In his later years Haggard pursued much in the way social reform as well as standing for Parliament and writing a great many letters to The Times. 
    Henry Rider Haggard died on May 14th, 1925 at the age of 68. His ashes were buried at Ditchingham Church.

    Kate Clephane left her husband and daughter years ago in pursuit of passion and freedom, only to find herself isolated and forgotten by the society she once knew. When she finally returns to America, she hopes to rebuild her life and reconnect with her grown daughter, Anne. But her second chance at happiness becomes dangerously complicated when she forms an unexpected bond with the very man her daughter loves.
