Description

A meteor-like object lands in the English countryside, marking the beginning of a terrible attack. The Martians, armed with heat rays and poisonous smoke, are intent on destroying humanity. As the narrator struggles to find his way across decimated wastelands, the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. First serialised in 1897, this iconic science fiction novel terrified and thrilled its readers, evoking a new and hair-raising idea: we are not alone. The imagination of H.G. Wells has had a lasting impact on the genre, inspiring countless writers, artists, and directors to this day. The War of the Worlds is a gripping tale of survival and humanity's place in the universe, as the boundaries between life and death are pushed to the limit.
