The War of the Worlds - the Original 1898 Classic (Reader's Library Classics)

by H. G. Wells

Overview

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

The Original 1898 Classic

Humans vs. Martians. Conventional ballistics vs. the dreaded Heat-Ray and poisonous black smoke. It's not the survival of one person at stake. It is the survival of all humanity.

A classic unlike anything the world had yet to read, The War of the Worlds takes you into late 19th century England where a full-scale Martian invasion has begun.

About the Author

H.G. Wells (1866–1946), born Herbert George Wells, was an English author known for not only his popular science fiction books but also works of social commentary, history and biography. His first novel, The Time Machine, was published in 1895. Socially progressive and visionary in intellect, H.G. Wells became one of the most prolific writers of his generation. Through books like The Invisible Man, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and War of the Worlds, Wells delved into a plethora of social, philosophical and political ideas through the medium of what we now call science fiction.
