Description:
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....
So
begins The War of the Worlds, the science fiction classic that first proposed
the possibility of intelligent life on other planets and has enthralled readers
for generations. This compelling tale describes the Martian invasion of earth.
When huge, tireless creatures land in England, complete chaos erupts. Using
their fiery heat rays and crushing strength, the aliens just may succeed in
silencing all opposition. Is life on earth doomed? Will mankind survive? A
timeless view of a universe turned upside down, The War of the Worlds is
an ingenious and imaginative look into the possibilities of the future and the
secrets yet to be revealed.
