The War of the Worlds

In Victorian era England, an eerie green shooting star is seen streaking through the sky from Mars. A crowd gathers on Horsell Common and discover a huge cylinder lodged in a great cater. When the sinister object opens, it becomes horrifyingly apparent the visitors from space have not arrived on earth with friendly intentions. After wiping out the entire crowd with a devastating heat ray, the alien invaders build massive, metal killing machines intent on the extinction of all mankind. We follow a lone journalist's harrowing journey, as he desperately clings onto, not only his own survival, but mankind's itself. This illustrated edition of The War of the Worlds includes thirty nine powerful and evocative illustrations by Richard Fairlamb.Author: Fairlamb, Richard,illustrator,Wells, H.
