What if you realized how comfortable you were with your boring, everyday life, only after it came to a violent end? What if aliens and extraterrestrial life on Mars were no longer confined to movies and conspiracy theorist forums, but right outside your door?
War of the Worlds is not just another alien invasion story, but is the first of its kind, and far exceeds the quality of all its successors. H. G. Wells tells of the fears of his time, that an advanced alien force could crush the human race, just as Imperial Britain had crushed the forces of Tasmania.
Newspapers told of a spacecraft that burst forth from the surface of Mars, till days later, it crashes on the outskirts of Wells' home city. It is hoped that these "visitors" are peaceful -- a hope that dissolves all too quickly. Their technology dwarfs the advancements of humankind, leaving the military completely helpless to combat them. Within days, the Martians bring civilization to its knees.
