Note: 7 novels, 1895 to 1906 Wells selected eight novels for 1933 UK omnibus The Scientific Romances of H.G. Wells: these seven and Men Like Gods (1923). Men Like Gods "is a kind of dramatized continuation of the themes of A Modern Utopia. A group of Earthlings is accidentally transferred via something like Matter Transmission to the world of Utopia ... Wells included the tale in The Scientific Romances of H.G. Wells [see above], though the American publishers left it out, perhaps unwisely, as Men Like Gods more than once eloquently escapes its didactic remit ..." --SFE3 biographical entry by John Clute and Brian Stapledon
