Fiction

A chilling specter descends upon Victorian England and ruthless Martians unleash their destructive might upon an unsuspecting Earth. Narrated with gripping intensity, the tale follows an unnamed protagonist as he navigates the harrowing invasion, witnessing the catastrophic clash between humanity’s frailty and the Martians’ relentless, technologically superior force. Wells’s vision of interplanetary conflict and the ensuing chaos reverberates with timeless resonance, transcending the confines of its 19th-century setting. As the crimson tendrils of Martian aggression spread, readers are swept into a maelstrom of fear and survival, confronting the fragility of civilization against the backdrop of an otherworldly menace.

H. G. WELLS [1866-1946] was a British author and pioneer in the science fiction genre. His works, including The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, delved into futuristic and societal critique themes. Wells’s visionary portrayals of technology, social structures, and extraterrestrial life made him one of the most influential writers in his field and a precursor to modern science fiction.
