War of the Worlds

by H. G. Wells, Pauline Francis (Illustrator)

Overview

The War of the Worlds was written by H. G. Wells in 1898. The story tells of large metal cylinders that fall to earth, signaling the beginning of a Martian invasion. The Martians gradually take over London and the surrounding area, causing death and destruction, and it seems that no one can stop them. Offering a quick way into a classic novel, this shortened, accessible edition includes a glossary in back.
