'The classic tale of alien invasion, and still the best' The Times
The first modern depiction of extra-terrestrials attacking the earth, The War of the Worlds remains one of the most influential of all science-fiction works. It shows the whole of human civilization under threat, as terrifying, tentacled Martians land in England, build gigantic killing machines, destroy all in their path with black gas and burning rays and feast on the warm blood of trapped, still-living human prey. The forces of the Earth, however, may prove harder to beat than they at first appear.
Edited by Patrick Parrinder with an Introduction by Brian Aldiss and Notes by Andy Sawyer

H. G. Wells was a professional writer and journalist, who published more than a hundred books, including novels, histories,
essays and programmes for world regeneration. Wells's prophetic imagination was first displayed in pioneering works of science
fiction, but later he became an apostle of socialism, science and progress. His controversial views on sexual equality and
the shape of a truly developed nation remain directly relevant to our world today. He was, in Bertrand Russell's words, 'an
important liberator of thought and action'.
