Reviews

?[I]informative and occasionally engaging. It is useful for both literary critics and teachers of science fiction....[H]ammond's book is a welcome addition to the scholarship that already exists in this area.?-SFRA Science Fiction Research Association

?Hammond has produced a fine accompaniment to the novel which must surely be read by anyone studying The Time Machine (or indeed any of Wells's early scientific romances) and deserves a place on all university libraries' shelves, and in the libraries of all Wellsians.?-The Wellsian
