About the book

The highly-acclaimed sequel to H G Wellss THE TIME MACHINE, from the heir to Arthur C. Clarke. Written to celebrate the centenary of the publication of H G Wellss classic story The Time Machine, Stephen Baxters stunning sequel is an outstanding work of imaginative fiction. 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 AD 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. Near fine copy with yellow pages throughout and a close tear to the top of the spine and small part of bottom of the spine missing. Dust jacket is near fine with some shelf wear to the top of the spine. Otherwise a tight copy with no bumped corners.
