Product Description
In this compelling novel H.G. Wells imagines a terrifying future in which civilisation itself is threatened.
The narrator of The War of the Worlds is quick to discover that what appeared to be a falling star was, in fact, a metallic cylinder landing from Mars. Six million people begin to flee London in panic as tentacled invaders emerge and overpower the city. With their heat-ray, killing machines, black gas, and a taste for fresh human blood, is there anything that can be done to stop the Martians?
No-one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger...
In this thrilling tale of alien invasion, H. G. Wells practically invented the modern science fiction genre.
Following the travails of an unnamed narrator, The War of the Worlds reveals the true terror of life under an implacable and enigmatic foe.
Armed with terrifying killing machines, black smoke and Heat-Rays, the Martians arrive in London and quickly subdue the resistance put up by British forces.
Faced with extraordinary odds and a world changed beyond all recognition, nothing less than the survival of the human race is at stake.
