Description: Amid apocalyptic invasions and time travel, one common machine continually appears in H. G. Wells s works: the bicycle. In The War of the Wheels, Withers examines this mode of transportation as both something that played a significant role in Wells' s personal life and as a literary device for creating elaborate characters and complex themes.
Review Quotes: Even in the 21st century, Wells still speaks to our fears and dreams.-- "The Washington Post"
