Wells, Herbert G.: THE WAR OF THE WORLDS

Suppose some beings from another planet were to drop out of the sky suddenly and begin taking over Surrey and then all of England!" These words inspired H.G.Wells, and from the Mcame the Martian invasion in THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. Join Wells as he flees from the killing Martian Heat-Ray...as he fights for his life in the boiling Thames River...as he helps the maddened curate survive...as he hides beside a Martian pit...and as he stubmles through the deserted streets of the destroyed city of London. Is there nothing that can stop the most devastating invasion the world has ever known?
