The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
A powerful classic of science fiction, The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells has inspired countless novels and films about alien invasions. It was even responsible for mass hysteria when it was adapted into a radio play by Orson Welles on Halloween night 1938. This terrifying story of merciless Martians destroying England and harvesting humans for food is well deserving of its enduring popularity. Wells is a gifted writer, whose spare prose delivers details vividly, even as he describes fantastical aliens and their technology. The portrayal of the alien invasion is especially jarring amid the normal setting of early twentieth century England .
A great strength of this science fiction novel is its immediate action. No time is wasted before the frightening attack of the Martians begins, and the flights and battles of the narrator are always compelling as he scrambles into ever more desperate situations. Eventually, he is reduced to hiding with a man who has gone insane during the invasion, and the novel expands into a riveting psychological drama that will leave you wondering what you would do under such circumstances.
The War of the Worlds is a classic that belongs in the digital library of every science fiction fan. Considering that it was first published in 1898, its author demonstrates remarkable scientific knowledge and accuracy as he creates his story that explores the chilling concept of our planet being attacked by a technologically superior species.
