Rated 4 out of 5 by from Extraordinary time travel adventure. It starts exactly where the H. G. Wells's novel ends, but when the Time Traveller tries to return to the year 802701 to rescue Weena, he discovers that the future is altered! He must stop in year 657208 when the Earth is cloaked by an eternal night, because the Morlocks has built a giant Sphere around the Sun! And then he returns in time to July 1873 and confronts with - himself at the age of twenty six! The novel becomes more and more intriguing as you read on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fitting title Enjoyed the scope of story and the language used. The two main characters are well chosen such that the reader is educated on the science behind the plot while at the same time holding ones attention with an exciting story line. Thoroughly enjoyed reading the book.
