The Food of the Gods

Front Cover
Gollancz, 2010 - Fiction - 209 pages
"Professor Redwood and Mr Bensington were unprepossessing men, leading lives of eminent and studious obscurity, scientists working away from the public gaze. Then they discovered Heralcleophorbia, a substance that could nourish a possible Hercules. And became responsible for the most important development in the evolution of man. For they had found the Food of the Gods, and a new kind of human, intellectually and physically superior, became a wonderful and terrifying possibility."--Back cover.

About the author (2010)

H.G. Wells was born in Bromley, Kent in 1866. After working as a draper's apprentice and pupil-teacher, he won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in 1884, studying under T. H. Huxley. It was with THE TIME MACHINE (1895) that he had his real breakthrough. Today he is regarded as one of the all-time greatest authors of science fiction.
