The War of the Worlds

Find yourself caught in the middle of an alien invasion in the late 1800s in this collectible hardcover edition of the thrilling science fiction classic.

A classic science fiction novel, The War of the Worlds tells the story of the martian invasion of Planet Earth. This late-nineteenth century novel plays on the mood of the period in which it was written--a world with great fears for its security and long-term stability. H. G.
