The Time Machine
by H G Wells
3 hours, 2 minutes
Unabridged Science Fiction Novel
1895
An amateur scientist discovers that just as he may travel around in the three physical dimensions, he may also travel through the fourth--time. These are his adventures and discoveries through time. Read by James Spencer.
"There's a slightly old-fashioned quality to his speech that compliments Wells' old-fashioned brand of science fiction ... rises above the source material, making these audio editions a great way to experience these two classics." - John Joseph Adams, Locus
As James Patrick Kelly writes in this month's (September 2004 issue) Asimov's Science Fiction, "What makes this the first science fiction time travel story is that the Time Traveler actually builds his machine." Previous fictitious time travelers (like Ebeneezer Scrooge or the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court) didn't have a choice in the matter.

Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was a British author often called "The Father of Science Fiction." Even before the 20th century began, his fiction and articles explored invisibility, interstellar travel, time travel, and genetic experimentation. His novel, The War of the Worlds was serialized in the American magazine Cosmopolitan, and later turned into a famous radio drama by Orson Wells.James Spencer has seasoned his narration and voice over skills for the past 20 years in radio, television, live performances, and multimedia. James' vocal styles range from warm and credible to funny and offbeat. He has been an award-winning actor, television reporter, and producer of video and multimedia projects. For more than a decade, he has served as the corporate voice of one of the country's largest corporations. He now fully devotes his time to building his multimedia production business, Active Voicing. Website [opens new window]
