Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Men in the Moon is a scientific story by H. G. Wells, published in hardcover in 1901. The novel tells the story of two protagonists: a businessman narrator, Mr. Bedford, and an eccentric scientist, Mr. Cavor, who undertake a journey to the Moon. Upon reaching the Moon, Bedford and Cavor discover that the Moon is inhabited by a sophisticated extraterrestrial civilization of insect-like creatures they call "Selenites." They get into a range of exciting adventures ending in establishing radio contact between the Earth and the Moon. This story is fascinating as it describes a spacecraft and a feeling of weightlessness long before the actual construction of the first spaceship and experiencing the absence of gravity in the open space. Also, H.G. Wells mentions the radio experiences of Nicolas Tesla and other scientists, which become personages of this story. It is a renowned classic of science fiction worth attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the annotated edition including the rare biographical essay by Edwin E. Slosson called "H. G. Wells - A Major Prophet Of His Time". The book is also fully illustrated with a wealth of beautiful drawings. There is probably no other living writer than the author of "The War of the Worlds" whose brain possesses that abnormal twist requisite to the production of such a story as "The First Men In the Moon." The conception of a planet peopled by a race of articulated creatures, gigantic insects, endowed with something akin to human intelligence, whose entire life is passed not upon the moon's surface, but miles below it. In chambers and passages hollowed out after the fashion of a colossal ant hill—all this described with that touch of verisimilitude which is the one thing which makes H. G. Wells readable, gives an uncanny, at times almost ghastly, effect that makes this moon story the most weird and striking of anything that he has written since the days of "The Time Machine." He takes us on endless rambles through these vast lunar caverns, lit only by the pallid rays that come from streams of liquid blue fire, and shows us a world in which the forests are colossal growths of pink and blue and green mushrooms and the commonest utensils of everyday life are made of solid gold. It is a curious, whimsical book. and. as usual, Mr. Wells has been doubly fortunate in having a sympathetic illustrator. Mr. Shepperson's pictorial interpretations of the text are thoroughly in keeping with the whole spirit of the thing and make the various phases of this imaginary moon life sufficiently vivid to haunt one with the persistence of a nightmare.

Book excerpt: A pair of unlikely explorers journey to the moon in this imaginative tale of science and adventure from the author of The War of the Worlds Hounded by creditors, Mr. Bedford retreats to a remote English village, where he meets the eccentric Mr. Cavor. Though he may not look it, Cavor is a genius and one of the world’s greatest inventors. His breakthrough is cavorite, an astonishing new substance manufactured from helium that is not bound by the laws of gravity. Bedford immediately sees the business potential of Cavor’s creation, reckoning a ship made of cavorite could take him the moon—the first step on a path to riches beyond his wildest dreams. When Bedford and Cavor set out for the moon in a cavorite sphere, they find the Earth’s satellite to be more wonderful than either of them ever imagined. But they soon discover they are not alone on the lush lunar surface—and the natives are not exactly friendly. A thrilling adventure story that offers fascinating insights into the nature of mankind, The First Men in the Moon is a timeless classic from “the father of modern science fiction.” This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
