H.G Wells

I must admit that I was not a big fan of science fiction novels until I became a member of the McConnell Program. Since then, I have discovered the exceptional author H.G Wells and have now fallen in love with his writing style and his specific way of writing science fiction novels. Being a rookie in the area of 'sci fi' I thought it would be smart to start with a book written by "The father of Science Finction" as H.G Wells is commonly referred. I cracked open 'War of the Worlds' and was smitten. In 'War of the Worlds' Wells describes a human being traveling through London after it has been invaded by aliens. After doing research on this book I learned that this was the first time there had ever been literature written about a conflict between aliens and human beings. Since I can personally remember, alien v. human movies have been flooding the box office but to read a work that started this legacy, was quite entertaining. 'War of the Worlds' was a great read and I have it and H.G Wells to thank for my openness to science fiction novels now.
