H. G. Wells
"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...." So begins The War of the Worlds, the science-fiction classic that first proposed the possibility that intelligent life exists on other planets.
This spellbinding tale describes the Martian invasion of earth. Following the landing in England of ten huge and indefatigable creatures, complete chaos erupts. Using their fiery heat rays and monstrous strength, the heartless aliens threaten the future existence of all life on earth.

Critic reviews
"This archetypal story of alien invasion provided a model for countless cruder imitations." (The Cambridge Guide to Literature in English)

Not bad

It's not as relatable as the later retellings because of the author's time relative to our own, but the core components are there in newer versions all the way down to the dead transportation.
I wouldn't say it's a must-read, it didn't drag me in like some of its contemporaries, but it's worth the time. I do appreciate that the author showed the main character's ptsd while wrapping up the story, those details make it feel more realistic
Pretty solid book, interesting story
