A metallic cylinder falls to earth, landing in the sands of Horsell Common, Surrey, making curiosity and awe. But what's inside soon induces only terror. The story that unfolds is a breathless first-person bank account of any inconceivable actuality: an extraterrestrial battle has been waged on the planet. Within a twist on cautionary turn-of-the-century invasion literature, H. G. Wells posits the Martian episode as an insurmountable apocalyptic event. The first of its kind and a foundational work, The Warfare of the Worlds motivated a radio broadcast, tv set shows, graphic books, and countless videos; roused the thoughts and stirred anxieties; and evolved the scenery of technology fiction for generations. AmazonClassics brings you classic works from the experts of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who would like to listen to a great work for the first time or rediscover a vintage favorite, these new editions start the door to literature's most unforgettable characters and loved worlds.
