The War of the Worlds

Resumen del libro

From the planet of war they came to conquer the Earth ... The night after a shooting star is seen streaking across the sky, a cylinder is discovered on Horsell Common.

Fascinated and exhilarated, the local people approach the mysterious object armed with nothing more than a white flag.

As the rays blaze towards them, it soon becomes clear they have no choice but to flee - or die.

The forces of the Earth, however, may prove harder to beat than they at first appear ...
