Riassunto

It never was a war, any more than there's war between man and ants.

The Original 1898 Classic

The Martians have touched down on earth. Dormant they may have been perceived, but soon they come to life in giant tripods that dispense visual, and deadly, wonderment to the locals. Atop these machines of death is the dreadful Heat-Ray, a device that emits a beam of light that disintegrates any and all in its path. The inhabitants of earth can only defend themselves with the conventional ballistic weapons at their disposal in the late 19th century. The odds greatly favor the invasive and more advanced species.

The original alien invasion story that is widely considered as one of the cornerstones of Science Fiction, The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells provides the depth and novelty of a journey through the imaginative that has astounded readers from the time of its first publication.
