Synopsis
|
The
Authorized Sequel
to The Time
Machine
The Time
Traveller has
abandoned his
charming and
helpless Eloi
friend Weena to
the cannibal
appetites of the
Morlocks, the
devolved race of
future humans from
whom he was forced
to flee. He
promptly embarks
on a second
journey to the
year A.D. 802,701,
pledged to rescue
Weena. He
never arrives!
The future was
changed by his
presence .. and
will be changed
again.
Hurled towards
infinity, the
Traveller must
resolve the
paradoxes building
around him in a
dazzling temporal
journey of
discovery.
He must achieve
the impossible if
Weena is to be
saved. |

Review
|
'The
Time Ships is
the most
outstanding work
of imaginative
fiction since
Stapledon's Last
and First Men,
and it is the best
possible
contribution to The
Time Machine
centennial
year. I'm
almost tempted to
say (I know this
is blasphemy) that
the sequel is
better than the
original.
After all, it
should be, with a
hundred years of
science and
discovery for
added inspiration
... This book is
the best evidence
for reincarnation
I've ever
encountered.
Welcome back, HG
...'

Apollo
17 Launch
A
Saturn V
rocket
streaks
toward
space on
the night
of
December
17, 1972,
carrying
the Apollo
17 crew,
the last
astronauts
to explore
the Moon.
Leaving
the lunar
surface,
Commander
Gene
Cernan
said
"we
leave as
we came,
and, God
willing,
we shall
return,
with peace
and hope
for all
mankind."
NASA is
striving
toward
that goal
with a
bold new
Vision for
Space
Exploration,
which
calls for
renewed
explorations
of the
Moon as
well as
journeys
to Mars
and
beyond. |
