In the last years of the nineteenth century, a cylinder falls on Horsell Common in Surrey, and something begins to unscrew from within. H. G. Wells's 1898 novel follows one man's flight through the English countryside as Martian fighting-machines, armed with a terrible Heat-Ray, move on London.
This recording is the complete novel, in two books: The Coming of the Martians and The Earth Under the Martians.
