Description

Student Hill makes an inadvertent slip under the microscope in an exam and faces a moral choice between truth and ambition that could reshape his academic future. Integrity and frailty share one quiet crisis. Spoken as when a slip under the microscope still asks what honesty costs when a career hangs on a single error.

Author

H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was born in Bromley, trained in biology under Huxley, and turned that laboratory habit into fiction. The Time Machine sent a Victorian into deep time; The War of the Worlds brought the sky down on the Home Counties. He wrote as if the future were a social problem with monsters attached. The novels argue while they entertain. A draper's son who made scientific romance a public language.
