By Wells, H. G
0 - Default Title
Description
A lone astronomer glimpses a strange flicker on Mars. Days later, metallic capsules bury themselves in rural Surrey and erupt into monstrous war-machines. As London panics, an unnamed narrator flees through burning towns, ruined churches, and red weed-choked rivers while the Martians harvest human blood for their own dark evolution.
