War of the Worlds

War of the Worlds

by H.G. Wells

Classic Science Fiction novel published by H. G. Wells in 1898 and still a fantastic read. An exciting first person narrative following the main character and his brother in London and Surrey as planet Earth is invaded by Martians. This is one of the earliest examples of a first contact novel dealing with humans conflicting with an alien race, not from our neck of the galaxy.
