"It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship."
- Henry Ward Beecher
(1813 - 1887)

| |  | | | In Brief
This edition of H.G. Wells's novel "has four primary objectives: to offer a detailed account of the genesis of the novel and its complex publishing history; to provide a reliable and readable text; to annotate certain words, details, and passages that . . . might require clarification or comment; . . . and to provide a selection of material . . . relevant either to {the book's} genesis or to Wells's thought. . . . The novel's gestation, its background and themes, and its critical reception are explored in the Introduction, and Appendix I provides a transcript and collation of the oldest surviving fragment of The War of the Worlds manuscript. The text of the novel is (with certain modifications) that of the Atlantic edition of 1924--a reissue of the original editions of 1898 from new plates, corrected by Wells." (Preface) Bibliography.
| | | | From The Publisher
"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 mankind finds itself on the brink of extinction. 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.
| | | | Annotation
Here, for the first time in Bantam print, is the science fiction classic that proposed the possibility of intelligent life on other planets. Written almost 100 years ago, this compelling tale describes the Martian invasion of Earth and man's struggle to survive.
