<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Introduction by Arthur C. Clarke<br>Commentary by Jules Verne and an anonymous reviewer from <i>The Critic</i><br></b><br>"No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own." Thus begins one of the most terrifying and morally prescient science fiction novels ever penned. Beginning with a series of strange flashes in the distant night sky, the Martian attack initially causes little concern on Earth. Then the destruction erupts--ten massive aliens roam England and destroy with heat rays everything in their path. Very soon humankind finds itself on the brink of extinction. H. G. Wells raises questions of mortality, man's place in nature, and the evil lurking in the technological future--questions that remain urgently relevant in the twenty-first century. <p/>Includes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The creations of Mr. Wells . . . belong unreservedly to an age and degree of scientific knowledge far removed from the present, though I will not say entirely beyond the limits of the possible." --<b>Jules Verne </b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Arthur C. Clarke</b> has long been considered the greatest science fiction writer of all time. Books by Clarke--both fiction and nonfiction--have sold more than a hundred million copies worldwide.
