LOeonard Nimoy and John deLancie of the Star Trek world joined forces to create Alien Voices, an anthology series of scripts based on classic science fiction stories.
In this collection, I've uploaded:
Arthur Conan Doyle - The Lost World
Jules Verne - Journey to the Center of the Earth
H.G. Wells - First Men in the Moon
H.G. Wells - The Invisible Man
H.G. Wells - The Time Machine
Each is incorporated in a RAR file, uploaded to the Science Fiction section here.

The First Men in the Moon
H.G. Wells
In this fully-dramatized performance of H.G. Wells' classic, The First Men in the Moon, Leonard Nimoy, John de Lancie, and cast members from Star Trek® feature films and all four TV series take you on an incredible journey.
Written at a time when the idea of traveling to the moon was considered ludicrous, The First Men in the Moon tells the remarkable story of daring scientists who attempt to reach Earth's satellite...and succeed. But when they reach the moon, they encounter a lunar civilization unlike anything they could have imagined -- and face dangers beyond their greatest fears.
Featuring virtuoso performances from the entire cast, riveting sound effects, and original music, Alien Voices' production of The First Men in the Moon is an adventure in sound.

ALIEN VOICES' THE TIME MACHINE
"The Time Machine" -- Background Information
Alien Voices® chose H. G. Wells' novel The Time Machine as its maiden voyage because of its chilling vision of the distant future -- a vision that can inspire Man to change his Fate by mending his present ways.
Set in England at the end of the 19th century, The Time Machine concerns a secretive inventor who devises a method of spanning the years -- indeed, the millennia -- by charging forward in time. The unnamed inventor is always referred to as "the Time Traveller" by his similarly unnamed friend, who narrates the tale. It is a difficult story for their friends to believe, yet it is also too compelling to forget: how the Time Traveller ventures to 805,701 AD; how he encounters the Eloi, a race of tranquil humans who frolic in a new Garden of Eden; how he learns the secret of the dreaded Morlocks, a subterranean race that preys upon the Eloi; and how he leaves them both behind as he hurtles to the very end of time.
Most people have derived their imagery of The Time Machine from the wildly successful film version produced for MGM by George Pal in 1960 (and remade for television in 1978). They recall Rod Taylor as the Time Traveller, Alan Young playing a dual role as his friend and his friend's grandson, the arrival of satellites that enshrouded the earth with radiation in a 1966 nuclear war; the animated clothing on a dress shop mannequin; and other movie effects.
None of that is in Wells' novel.

The Invisible Man
Leonard Nimoy, John de Lancie, Kate Mulgrew (Voyager's "Captain Janeway"), Ethan Phillips (Voyager's "Neelix"), Dwight Schultz("Lt. Barclay" from Next Gen), Nana Visitor(Deep Space Nine's "Major Kira Nerys") and more star in the chilling tale of the mad scientist who falls victim to his own diabolical scheme. Virtuoso performances, riveting sound effects and original music make this production a tremendous success.
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Jules Verne tells the tale of Professor Lidenbrock and his crew on a fantastic expedition to the Earth's core, what they find there, and their struggle to get home alive. Also stars Roxann Dawson ("B'Elanna Torres"' from Star Trek: Voyager), and other "Trek" veterans.
The Time Machine
H.G. Wells classic time-travel story, in a beautifully dramatized version. In addition to Nimoy and de Lancie, this production also stars Armin Shimerman ("Quark" from Deep Space Nine), and Roxann Dawson ("B'Elanna Torres"' from Star Trek: Voyager).
