Often referred to as the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback, English writer H.G. Wells was prolific in many genres, publishing dozens of novels and novellas in addition to treatises on social commentary, history, and two books on recreational war games. Mr. Blettsworthy On Rampole Island follows the story of Arnold Blettsworthy, the scion of a genteel family who survives a shipwreck, WWI, and at the age of 40 devotes the rest of his life to "the general advance of mankind" after learning that his entire life was an insane delusion.
