The War of the Worlds

By Mr Herbert George Wells

The novel was first published in 1898 and is one of the earliest stories detailing a conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race. The protagonist lives in Surrey, England, and has a younger bother living in London as Southern England is invaded by Martians. The novel has remained both popular and influential for over a century, spawning half a dozen feature films, radio dramas, a record album, various comic book adaptations, a television series, and sequels or parallel stories by other authors. It has even influenced the work of scientists, notably Robert Goddard, who (inspired by the book) invented both the liquid fuelled rocket and multistage rocket, which resulted in the Apollo 11 moon landing 71 years later.
