The Time Machine

‘On this machine, I intend to explore time ...‘ The time traveler has invented a time machine. Its capabilities are beyond even his fertile imagination. Hundreds of thousands of years in the future, the beautiful Eloi people live in a Garden of Eden. But why are the Eloi so fearful of the dark? What horrors lurk beneath the surface of their world? What will the time traveler learn about the future? Will he survive the evil he encounters? Even if he can find his stolen machine, will it return him safely home? What does his future hold? What is the future of the human race?
