Herbert George Wells, the English author began his career as a novelist with a popular sequence of science fiction that
remains the most familiar part of his work. He later wrote realistic novels and novels of ideas. He achieved fame with scientific
fantasies such as The Time Machine (1895) and War of the Worlds (1898), and wrote a range of comic social novels which proved highly popular.
H.G. Wells was a very brave man. He was profoundly disturbed by the rising of the Nazi Germany and fascism in Italy. His critical
writings on the aggressive Imperial Germany coupled with his violent attacks on Adolf Hitler and his collaborators. His "anti-German"
books were burned by Goebbels during the infamous book bonfires at German universities.
The name "H.G. Wells" appeared very near the top of a list compiled by the SS/SD command staff of those intellectuals and politicians
slated for immediate liquidation upon the invasion of Britain by the Nazis.

He was a Russian-born American author and biochemist.
Asimov's interest in science fiction had begun as a boy when he noticed several of the early science
fiction magazines for sale on the newsstand in his family's candy store.
The author of nearly five hundred books, Isaac Asimov was one of the finest writers of science fiction in the
twentieth century. Many, however, believe Asimov's greatest talent was for, as he called it, "translating" science,
making it understandable and interesting for the average reader.
