The Time Machine (Gladstone)
Amiel Gladstone
A new, freshly imagined adventure inspired by the pages of H.G.
Wells!
An unexpected delivery containing a puzzling box of clues leads to the Time Machine itself.
Now the race is on: jumping from today’s perplexing world into the baffling past then back again in an anxious chase against time to save the world.
Experience a mystical, scientific wonder that moves through the ages, along with a coveted treasure, dubious friendship and lost love.
Can this be real?
Does time travel really exist?
Buckle up for a journey into the unknown!
"Fox’s script does a wonderful job of pulling in details of Wells’ book and staying true to some of the elements of The Time Machine, while crafting characters and a plot that are entirely original and continually engaging."
— Talkin’ Broadway
"The plot is heart-pounding with characters you root for and dialogue that drives both. History, science and art combine to create contemporary entertainment that feels like a blockbuster movie."
— Broadway World
