When The Sleeper Wakes

H.G. Wells

The Sleeper is just an ordinary man no one special just someone going about his everyday business. Until one day he awakes and finds that the world around him has changed. No longer a nobody he has been catapulted into the unenviable position of a pawn in a dangerous conspiracy where the stakes are high and the players shockingly intelligent. For this is not the world that the Sleeper knows but a new and terrifying mutation.>

H.G. Wells

H.G. Wells was born in Bromley Kent in 1866. After working as a draper's apprentice and pupil-teacher he won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in 1884 studying under T. H. Huxley. He was awarded a first-class honours degree in biology and resumed teaching but had to retire after a kick from an ill-natured pupil afflicted his kidneys. He worked in poverty in London as a crammer while experimenting in journalism and stories. It was with THE TIME MACHINE (1895) that he had his real breakthrough.
