Description

In this late-career masterpiece, H.G. Wells returns to the themes of The War of the Worlds, but with a psychological twist. Joseph Davis becomes obsessed with the theory that cosmic rays from Mars are genetically altering human minds to create a “Star-Begotten” race of super-intelligent beings. A profound “biological fantasia” that explores evolution, paranoia, and the future of humanity. This 1975 Sphere edition is a classic of mid-century speculative fiction.
