Man
had not yet
learned to fly
when HG Wells
conceived this
story of a Martian
attack on
England.
Giant cylinders
crash to earth,
disgorging huge,
unearthly
creatures armed
with heat-rays and
fighting
machines.
Amid the boundless
destruction they
cause, it looks as
if the end of the
world has come.
Review
One
of the first and
greatest works of
science fiction.
