H.G. Wells's "War of the Worlds" is a science fiction novel about the Martian invasion of Earth. The aliens, armed with advanced technology, destroy cities and decimate humanity, which proves helpless against their power. The narrator recounts his dramatic struggle for survival in a devastated England. Ultimately, the Martians perish not at the hands of humans, but rather at the hands of Earthly bacteria, to which they are not immune. The book explores themes of human frailty, colonialism, and the fragility of civilization.
