The War of The Worlds – A Science Fiction Classic (Complete Edition)

The War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel told in first-person narrative. It follows an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and his younger brother in London as Earth is invaded by Martians. The novel is one of the earliest stories depicting conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race, and ranks among the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon. The novel is divided into two parts: Book One: The Coming of the Martians and Book Two: The Earth under the Martians. The philosophically inclined narrator struggles to return to his wife while witnessing the Martians destroy the southern countryside outside London. Book One also includes his brother's account of deteriorating conditions in the capital, culminating in the brother's escape via paddle steamer near Tillingham on the Essex coast.
