Synopsis: From the back cover of the DAW first printing: "Undoubtedly the most perfect science fiction gem is H. G. Wells' world famous novel The Time Machine. This marvelous story of the inventor of the time-travelling machine and his trip in it to the far future is a classic that has thrilled the world in books and films since the turn of the century. But there had never been a known sequel to it. Now such a sequel has been found and DAW Books is proud to present its first appearance in English. Written by an admirer and correspondent of Wells, the brilliant critic and playwright, Egon Friedell, it was available during Wells' lifetime but only in a limited U.S. Military Government German-language edition published right after the war. Here then is the rest of the story of Wells' Time Traveller, of his further visits to the future, and of the Time Machine's desperate entanglement with the past. Like the original classic, it is a clever, ironic, and always fascinating novel which contains thought-provoking theories of time and society as well as being a science fiction adventure hard to put down."
