Title: A triumph of 19th century imagination!
Product review: Man had not yet learned to fly when HG Wells conceived this story of a Martian attack on England. Giant cylinders crash to earth, disgorging huge, unearthly creatures armed with heat rays and fighting machines. Amid the boundless destruction they cause, it looks as if the end of the world has come.This novel represents an extraordinary blend of prophetic hard science fiction together with a superb narrative of the human effects of fear, war, mob psychology, courage, arrogance, pride, despair, faith and stupidity among other human strengths and weaknesses.The ending represents a new beginning for a humanity that has received a wake-up call and an opportunity to start over with what Huxley would call a "brave new world".Paul Weiss
