5.0 out of 5 stars
A charming Victorian Romance with Sci Fi Adventure, Feb 10 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Space Machine: A Scientific Romance (Hardcover)
I first came across this book in 1977 when I was only 19.
From page one I was hooked, starting off seemingly like a Victorian romantic Novel, it quicky becomes a Sci Fi mystery, then high adventure on a planet not to far away from our own.
You won't be able to put the book down as the plot unfolds, and becomes, well...hauntingly familiar.
Do try it !

This review is from: Space Machine: A Scientific Romance (Hardcover)
I absolutely loved this book! There are so many things to like about it...
--It's connections to both The Time Machine AND War of the Worlds.
--A beautiful feeling of love a man shows for a woman (from his point-of-view for a change).
--Countless twists and turns.
--True characters, true imagination.
Get a copy and cherish it!

Very good book, Mar 12 2008

I was a bit skeptical when I first got this book. But when I started reading I couldn't put it down. It is kind of a sequel to H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine and Christopher Priest proves true to the originals. I recommend this book to any sci-fi fan.
