Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

Auteur(s): H. P. Lovecraft
Description
He’s often been called the father of science fiction. Now, listen to H. G. Wells’ five science fiction novels in one definitive collection. Introduced by film director and H. G. Wells fanboy Eli Roth, the collection features unabridged recordings of the novels performed by Hugh Bonneville, Jason Isaacs, Sophie Okonedo, David Tennant and Alexander Vlahos.
The War of the Worlds narrated by David Tennant
When Earth is invaded by Martians in great mechanical tripods, terror ensues. They are equipped with heat rays and poisonous black gas, intent on wiping out the human race. During the destruction, one man’s story details the monstrous invasion and his struggle to find his wife in the devastation.
The First Men in the Moon narrated by Alexander Vlahos
A chance meeting between penniless businessman Mr Bedford and absentminded scientist Dr Cavor leads the two on a fantastical journey to the moon. However, they are unprepared for what they find: freezing nights, boiling days and sinister alien life. Will they be trapped forever?
The Time Machine narrated by Hugh Bonneville
Transported to the year AD 802,701, the Time Traveller encounters the peaceful Eloi, a beautiful elfin race of childlike adults afraid of the dark, and with good reason. Beneath the earth’s surface live the Morlocks, apish troglodytes who torment the Eloi. When the time machine is stolen, the Time Traveller must enter Morlock territory if he ever hopes to return home.
The Invisible Man narrated by Sophie Okonedo
When a strange man takes shelter at an inn, his skin covered from head to toe in bandages, he causes distrust. Griffin, a scientist, reveals that he has successfully managed to turn himself invisible, but alas without a way of undoing it. Desperate for a cure, his ailment drives him to many sinister actions, including murder.
The Island of Dr Moreau narrated by Jason Isaacs
Edward Prendick, the single survivor of a shipwreck, is rescued by Montgomery in a vessel carrying a menagerie of savage animals. Taken to an uncharted island, he meets Dr Moreau - a brilliant scientist whose notorious experiments have caused him to abandon the civilised world. It soon becomes clear he has been developing these experiments - with truly horrific results.
Known as ‘The Father of Science Fiction’, Herbert George Wells’ writing career spanned over 60 years. He was a writer of novels, short stories, nonfiction books and articles. As a young man, Wells won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London, sparking his infamous vocation as a science fiction writer.

A giant in many fields
H. G. Wells was a brilliant writer. This collection contains 5 of the most important Science Fiction stories ever written:
The War of the Worlds: No matter how powerful men believe they are, someone stronger will always show up to prove them wrong. And Nature always sides with the hidden flaw. Narrated by David Tennant, the only narrator whose name I recognized. I would have thought he would narrate The Time Machine. Maybe he didn't want to be typecast.
The First Men in the Moon. Absent-minded scientist and con artist invade peaceful Lunar civilization. So far as the Selenites were concerned, man was the invader. The 1964 film missed the point.
The Time Machine. This is a Cautionary Tale rather than a proper time-travel story, as there are no paradoxes. It has more in common with Planet of the Apes. Wells is warning about the Haves versus the Have-Nots, and decadence, .
The Invisible Man. This is about hubris. The films all assume Griffin was driven mad by invisibility, but he was already a sociopath before.
The Island of Doctor Moreau. Also about hubris, and the belief that Man is the pinnacle of life. The creation of Underpeople foreshadows many future stories.

Fantastic stories and great narration overall.
The best narrators I thought were the first "The War of the Worlds" narrated by David Tennant and the last "The Island of Dr Moreau" narrated by Jason Isaacs. I thought these narrators did a brilliant job in bringing Wells' stories to life and will definitely listen to them again. I hated "The Invisible Man" narrated by Sophie Okonedo and most likely will never listen to another to another audiobook narrated by her (unless it's like a BBC ensemble). She took a fascinating story and made it incredibly dull. Bonneville and Vlahos did a good job and I'd listen to them again.
However, I do recommend this collection because out of the 5 stories, I only disliked the 1 (Invisible Man).

Very Well Done
The narration is excellent. I see ones and twos of reviews complaining and I can't think of a single instance where the narrator took me out of the story with poor work. I actually often found myself quite happy with the efforts to include inflection or sounds of things like huffing and puffing for someone out of breath.
The writing is outstanding. Especially considering most of it is written about 130 years ago before even the 20th century at the earliest parts of the industrial revolution. So when I see one reviewer complaining about "going on about nothing for some time" I say "Of course!" It was new and the science wasn't even close to being solid enough. He had to imagine what the science could mean. We know argon on the moon wouldn't be breathable. Who cares!? It's a fun sci-fi fantasy.
On that note, it is worth pointing that some language is used VERY differently than it is now over a century later, like people "ejaculating" which means to speak suddenly and quickly in the context of Wells' writing. Also, several characters are the kind of Englishmen who are pompous enough to suggest the English way is the only way and they do use some demeaning words or inferences. Much like in Tom Sawyer, you must understand that's the character as they are written and not a reflection of the man. He in fact was a huge advocate of social sciences and was even someone to push back on the ideas of race in his time. So his particularly anti-communist at all costs character or his "scientist" protagonist with views on "savage" races are in the story, you're not supposed to like them.
Wells wrote WELL ahead of his time and the world is richer for having him. His work is dutifully and skillfully represented and performed by these narrators.

The genius of H.G. Wells
All the books in this science fiction collection are exciting, in particular the last, the Island of Dr Moreau. Jason Isaacs brings the characters vividly to life. Though I had read all the books before, listening to these seven narrations was as if they were new again.
