The War of the Worlds
By H.G.
Wells
(See the 2 choices below
for abridged and unabridged versions)
It begins as the sky lights up with bright cylinders from
Mars that look like falling stars-and continues as the Martians emerge from
their vessels with machines of fire and deadly smoke. Wells's depiction of a
city in panic-written in 1898-still remains shockingly contemporary.
