The War of the Worlds

Perhaps the earliest iteration of a scenario that continues to fascinate the public, The War of the Worlds chronicles an alien invasion of our world. Struggling on their not-so-hospitable planet, the Martians decide to conquer Earth for its resources. Humanity’s weapons of combat are no match for their extraterrestrial technology, and the violent war that ensues is devastating. Vividly imagined and enriched by H. G. Wells’ interest in the possibility of intelligent life on Mars, The War of the Worlds is a classic of science fiction.
