Description

Evans and Hooker paddle for gold after murdering Chang-hi for his map. In the forest a hole of ingots waits beside a corpse, and thorns work like Dyak darts on greedy fingers. Evans dies; Hooker understands the grin on the chart as the poison closes in. Wells's short story of conspiracy, treasure, and a warning paid for too late.

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.
