from The H. G. Wells Library · host H. G. Wells

In which we embark on a contemplative journey through the unimaginable vastness of geological time, tracing the earth's transformation from a fiery molten orb amidst swirling cosmic dust to a cooler world where rain begins to shape barren rocks and form ancient seas. Herein lies a vision of a planet slowly shedding its incandescent past, yet still untouched by the stirring of life, under the vigilant march of sun and moon through a tempestuous sky.
