H.G. Wells Scared The Bejeezus Out of A Nation - TWB28

Written in 1898 by HG Wells, War of The Worlds is an eyewitness account of an alien vessel crashing to earth and the subsequent strike upon an English countryside by hostile visitors who are believed to hail from the planet Mars. That's right, the original Mars Attacks! The book is divided into two parts, Book I and Book2. In Book One, the narrator (Who does not have a name; everyone in the book has a title but no name.) retells the story of how he and his stargazing friend witnesses a flash from a distant planet which crash to earth and later wreak havoc upon mankind. Very little was known to whether this is was worldwide occurrence, however, the reader is given insight into the Martian's excursion into the city of London via the accounts dictated to him from his brother's survival within the city that fought back. Book Two is meat and potatoes as the reader gets to know a lil bit more about the Martians and just how this invasion ends with a kind of thud. I personally found this section quite intriguing as many of the theories presented are present in today's influx in curiosity about the existence of aliens.
