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
