The Time Machine: An Invention - Unabridged

By: H. G. Wells

Narrated by: Kevin Theis

H.G. Wells' classic science fiction tale The Time Machine is the first of Wells' "scientific romances" (which included The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds, and The Island of Doctor Moreau). This edition includes the original unabridged manuscript, as it was originally serialized in the New Republic.

The Time Machine relates the story of the Time Traveller, a Victorian inventor who creates a machine that allows him to travel to any time period. He chooses to rocket forward into the unknown world of the future, landing in the year 802,701 where he encounters the humanoids descendants of Earth, the seemigly friendly and benign Eloi, and the subterranean and primitive Morlocks.

The Time Traveller rescues and befriends a young Eloi girl named Weena and, upon discovering that his machine has been stolen by the Morlocks, must descend into their dark kingdom to recover it.

Hailed for over a century as one of the finest science fiction stories of all time, H.G. Wells' The Time Machine is a classic story of adventure, exploration, and scientific curiosity.

an outstanding narrative effort. great work!

The narrator is excellent. very high production values, and very entertaining. Well done, Kevin Theis.

Wonderful

Classic story wonderfully narrated. Highly recommend this story. It goes above most with sound effects as well which I found enjoyable.

Old classic feels fresh

As sci-fi fam I have meaning to get to this one. Glad I waited for this performance. I really enjoyed it.

what a wild ride!

ok, any sci-fi fan can remember back to the first time they heard of the gentle Eloi and the brutish Morlocks... i know ive read or watched the movie version many times.. but This audibooks version has the charm and the unique accounts of the Narrator Mr Theis. ,(im a fan of his Sherlock books too). so, definitely one for the library!

Timeless Tale, Done Well

I first read “The Time Machine” in the early 1980’s. Already at that time a fan of the classic film adaptation, I instantly loved the book.
Feeling motivated recently to revisit it, there were a great number of audiobook renditions of it to chose from. I chose this one, based on listening to a preview of it, and having just finished it, I can say I chose well.
Narrator Kevin Theis does an excellent job with the narration and the various voices, sounding convincingly of the period when the book was published. The inclusion of occasional sound effects add to it, strengthening the overall listening experience without being overpowering or distracting.
