The War of the Worlds

The War of the Worlds, by H.G. Wells, is one of the most famous science-fiction stories of all time. It is a gripping novel, narrated by a writer whose name we never learn, about Martians arriving on Earth with a plan to conquer humanity and settle on their planet.

The story, set at the end of the 19th century, begins one summer night when a strange cylinder falls to Earth near the English town of Woking, just south west of London. Not many people are interested at first, but then the cylinder unscrews and a strange creature emerges. These are aliens from Mars, and after a short while they have created huge machines, equipped with heat-rays and chemical weapons, which attack humans and rain death upon the land. As people attempt to escape from London and the surrounding counties, the narrator must find a way to stay alive and be reunited with his wife. Will humans finally defeat the Martians? Will the narrator survive and find his wife?

The exciting plot keeps the reader absorbed to the very end. It is full of thrilling moments and dark tension among people who are forced to fight for their lives. What adds to the novel is its realistic portrayal of people struggling amongst the chaos, as society breaks down.

The War of the Worlds is highly recommended. Even though it is over 100 years old, its ideas and themes are still fresh. If you like science-fiction stories and excitement, this satisfying novel will not disappoint yo
