About The War of the Worlds
Martians invade Surrey in tripod war machines. The original alien-invasion novel, written when "Martians" was a fresh scientific speculation. Orson Welles’s 1938 radio adaptation panicked America for a reason — this story works in audio.
Why it works as an audiobook
Wells wrote in vivid, journalistic first-person — exactly the format that made the 1938 radio dramatization so terrifying. Pure cinema for the ears.
- Genre: Science Fiction
