Description

H.G. Wells crafts a meticulous drama of integrity and ambition within the cloistered halls of academia. When student Hill, engulfed in scientific rigor, makes an inadvertent error during an exam, he faces a moral dilemma that could reshape his future. Wells expertly examines the tension between truth and ambition, painting a poignant portrait of human frailty and the high stakes of integrity in the pursuit of knowledge.

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.
