La Guerre dans les airs

by H. G. Wells

Overview

Ce roman nous décrit une guerre mondiale, en 1908, conçue par un stratège de génie, H.G. Wells, qui invente l'arme absolue : les dirigeables géants, véritables porte-avions, d'où prennent leur vol les «Drachenflieger» de bombardement. Ainsi, l'Allemagne attaque directement les États-Unis et, sur la route de New York, coule la flotte U.S. De nouvelles armes naissent, tel le canon à éclairs, ancêtre direct du rayon laser, le fameux rayon de la mort... Une saga extraordinaire et méconnue qui se déploie sur plusieurs continents.

About the Author

H.G. Wells (1866–1946), born Herbert George Wells, was an English author known for not only his popular science fiction books but also works of social commentary, history and biography. His first novel, The Time Machine, was published in 1895. Socially progressive and visionary in intellect, H.G. Wells became one of the most prolific writers of his generation. Through books like The Invisible Man, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and War of the Worlds, Wells delved into a plethora of social, philosophical and political ideas through the medium of what we now call science fiction.
