The War of the Worlds / Wells, H.G

As life on Mars becomes impossible, Martians and their terrifying machines invade the earth.

H.G. Wells' late nineteenth-century novel in which an intellectually superior race from Mars invades Earth with plans to take over the planet.

Deeply concerned with the welfare of contemporary society, Wells wrote his novel of interplanetary conflict in anticipation of war in Europe, and in it he predicted the technological savagery of twentieth-century warfare. As life on Mars becomes impossible, Martians and their terrifying machines invade the earth.

After Martians land on Earth just outside of London in the late nineteenth century, an Englishman tries to find his wife while the British military and human technology fail in their efforts to stop the Martians, which have begun to kill and feed off of humans.

Presents H. G. Wells' classic novel of a Martian invasion on Earth, and includes a biographical essay on the author, introduction, and texual notes.
