War of the Worlds - Introduction

from Just Reads · host Ed Parnell

Just for a bit of a lark, I thought I'd record this. Whaddya think? It's only the intro. Interested to see if anyone likes it...The War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells. It was written between 1895 and 1897, and serialised in Pearson's Magazine in the UK and Cosmopolitan magazine in the US in 1897. The full novel was first published in hardcover in 1898 by William Heinemann. The War of the Worlds is one of the earliest stories to detail a conflict between humankind and an extraterrestrial race. The novel is the first-person narrative of an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and his younger brother who escapes to Tillingham in Essex as London and Southern England are invaded by Martians.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/just-reads--6173738/support.Please click 'like' and Subcribe and all the good stuff.
