Tales of Space and Time by H.G. Wells
4.0
This is a collection of vivid and descriptive tales that takes you to the ends of the universe and to the beginning and end of time. Wells has created (and recreated) different places within the universe and takes the reader back to man's beginning and forward to a world within the city limits.
The Crystal Egg - this tale follows Mr Cave as he becomes obsessed with a crystal egg he picked up, which allows some to view other worlds and their inhabitants. But as his obsession grows, so does the malevolence of those other beings.
The Star - this tells of the death of Neptune and its 'descent' into the Sun and its impact on Earth, which to mankind seems catastrophic but to external eyes appears minor in its effects on Earth itself.
A Story of the Stone Age - following the story of Ugh-lomi and Uya as they leave their tribe and try and survive in the Stone Age world, facing bears, lions and their own kind.
A Story of the Days to Come - this tells of the future world of Earth and how lives of its inhabitants have changed, becoming tied less to the Earth and more to the megacities of man's creation.
The Man Who Could Work Miracles - a short story on how the ability to perform 'miracles' is not quite as beneficial as it seems.
