When mysterious cylinders crash into English countryside, no one expects the earth-shattering events that follow. Martians emerge from the capsules, wielding terrifying heat-rays and causing widespread devastation. H.G. Wells masterfully weaves suspense and social commentary in “The War of the Worlds,” a gripping tale of humanity’s fight for survival against an alien invasion. I remember the chill I felt reading about the Martians’ relentless advance. This classic still resonates deeply today.
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own.
