From the Bookshelf: The Time Ships

Having recently found a copy of "The Island of Dr. Moreau" in the recent Penguin Books series of annotated versions of H.G. Wells's novels, I decided to do some re-reading; Wells's works of early science fiction are among my favourite books. Along the way, though, I decided to take in a slight detour of sorts. As if to help demonstrate that with enough time, mere "fanfiction" transforms into a "respectful homage" (although I'm sure some would point to the concept of the public domain as well), the English science fiction writer Stephen Baxter (who I've also read a number of works by) wrote a sequel to "The Time Machine" a full century after that book was published. I actually bought my copy of "The Time Ships" from my university's used book store, no doubt forcing one person who actually needed the book for whatever course it was for to buy a copy at full price...
