War of the Worlds Summary
|
In the August 1894 issue of Nature, there's a report of a bright light seen for a short time forty million miles away on Mars. It was observed by both the Lick Observatory in California and the Perrotin of Nice. The next evening, a similar flash is seen. This continues, one every evening, for the next ten evenings. Speculation is that it could be a heavy shower of meteorites on the red planet or perhaps huge volcanic activity. The speculation is wrong. |

| 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; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment. |

| "No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligence greater than man's..." Driven from their own planet by its progressive cooling, ruthless Martians invade our much warmer Earth... Super intelligent and destructive, these Martians live by injecting fresh living blood into themselves. By means of fearful war machines, they devastate the entire planet and soon become the World's new masters. Only few survivors remain... |

| "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." Thus begins one of the most terrifying and morally prescient science fiction novels ever penned. Beginning with a series of strange flashes in the distant night sky, the Martian attack initially causes little concern on earth. Then the destruction erupts - ten massive aliens roam England and destroy with heat rays everything in their path. Very soon mankind finds itself on the brink of extinction. Wells raises questions of mortality, man's place in nature, and the evil lurking in the technological future - questions that remain urgently relevant in the twenty-first century. |

H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds is a timeless science fiction classic that is still frightening over a century after its original publication. Well's exploration of possible extraterrestrial intelligent life has served as the prototype for countless twentieth century novels and films. |

| They say, said he, "that there's another of those blessed things fallen there--number two. But one's enough, surely. This lot'll cost the insurance people a pretty penny before everything's settled." He laughed with an air of the greatest good humour as he said this. The woods, he said, were still burning, and pointed out a haze of smoke to me. |

H. G. Wells classic novel of alien invasion, first published in 1898, is considered by many critics to be the best of all alien invasion novels. In 1938, when Orson Welles broadcast his radio version of The War of the Worlds, it caused panic among listeners who believed Earth had indeed been invaded. Wells was a pioneer of science fiction and is credited with beginning the genre with his The Time Machine. The prophetic accuracy of his science fiction led to his label as The Man Who Invented Tomorrow. Passionately concerned about social issues, Wells used science fiction to communicate his concerns and ideas. His visions of the future included a war-torn twentieth century leading to eventual world peace in the twenty-first century. Herbert George Wells died in |

No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their affairs they were scrutinized and studied, parhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. |

| When Orson Welles first read The War of the Worlds on broadcast radio in 1938 listeners far and wide panicked. H. G. Wells’ consuming account of Martians landing on Earth and obliterating everything in sight sounded all too plausible. The issues Wells explores of man’s place in the universe remain startlingly pertinent in today’s technological age of space tourists, video-game-like combat, and cloning. In fact, given The War of the Worlds’s high-tech scenario it only seems appropriate to read this science fiction classic in eBook format. |

| Martians attack earth in this classic SF story. This story was also the basis for the infamous radio hoax by another man named Welles (Orson). |
