Publisher's Summary

No one would have believed that planet Earth was being watched by creatures more intelligent than humankind.

But planet Earth was not only being watched--soon it would be invaded by monstrous creatures from Mars who strode about the land in great mechanical tripods, bringing death and destruction with them.

What could possibly stop an invading army equipped with heat rays and poisonous black gas, intent on wiping out the human race?

This is one man’s story of that incredible invasion, from the time the first Martians land near his hometown to the destruction of London.

Is this the end of human life on Earth?

A Real Reads retelling of a great classic. Shortened but told in the style of the author, and true to original plot, characters, and themes.
