The Island of Doctor Moreau (Version 3)
H. G. Wells
Lu par Tom Haire
In 1896 HG Wells produced the Island of Doctor Moreau. After a fateful shipwreck, a chance rescue, and offer of safe harbor, Edward Prendick must contend with a dark science. A man of science, Prendick must wrestle with the ethics of its passions. His inner struggle is illuminated by the island's outward horrors. Central to the themes are ethics, principles, and the extent of human compassion. This science fiction icon argues the true question of science: Could the cure be more dangerous than the disease? (Summary by Tom Haire ) (5 hr 21 min)

Genius! You wont want to miss a word of this classic. I have read a lot of Wells over the years, but had somehow missed this. It's my new fav. The reader was excellent and brought the characters to life!

Digs its claws in deep from the get go and doesn't relent. A great reader that adds to the experience with his wonderful addition of unique voices for the book's characters.
Well worth
