The First Men in the Moon, published in 1901, is the gripping tale of man's first journey to the moon, undertaken by one Mr. Bedford, a bankrupt businessman; and the eccentric scientist Mr. Cavor. Here they discover a sophisticated civilization, dominated by an insectlike race they call the Selenites.

It is exciting, funny, profound and tragic by turns: a beautifully written scientific romance, in fact. It is read by Greg Wagland.

Critic reviews

"This novel may be one of the lesser works by the socially conscious Wells, but that doesn't take away from the impact of this audio production. Much of the credit for that goes to the full-bodied British voice of narrator Greg Wagland...This audiobook illustrates how even an old novel can be given new life on audio." (AudioFile)

Another great story actually set partly in Kent where I live which was thrilling! The story can be a bit heavy on the science but it all ultimately adds to the tale.Once again an English narrator is the only way to go with H.G. Wells.

Another Classic!
