The classic science-fiction masterpiece that changed the way we imagine alien invasion.
When strange objects crash to Earth, the people of England have no idea what is coming. From the wreckage emerge terrifying creatures from Mars-armed with devastating technology and seemingly unstoppable machines.
As the Martians advance across the country, civilisation begins to collapse. Cities burn. The military is powerless. And ordinary people are forced into a desperate fight for survival against an enemy from another world.
First published in 1898, H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds remains one of the most influential works of science fiction ever written; a gripping tale of invasion, survival and humanity confronted by a force beyond its understanding.
This special hardback edition from Bonafide Publishing features a new introduction by Maddie Marzola, offering fresh insight into Wells's enduring masterpiece and its place in the history of science fiction.
A landmark of speculative fiction. A story that still feels terrifyingly relevant.
The invasion begins here.
