When an army of invading Martians lands in England, panic and terror seize the population. As the aliens traverse the country in huge three-legged machines, incinerating all in their path with a heat ray and spreading noxious toxic gases, the people of the Earth must come to terms with the prospect of the end of human civilization and the beginning of Martian rule.

To be honest this book is very generic Sci-Fi book where aliens invades the earth. However it was published in 1897 at the time where this kind of books weren’t very popular as they are now on days. But Im not the biggest fan of alien themed books and movies but Im still gonna try to find the one I might one day like.

However this book doesn’t focus as much on aliens as it focus on the fact that humans are the kings of the earth. Which unfortunately is the reality which shouldn’t ever exist. But this shows how big assholes humans are.

The plot here was okay but very generic for every Sci-Fi book and movie about alines, but I will give this book points for being written over 100 years ago when there were almost no Sci-Fi books about aliens.

The writing style in this book has a very thick old English, but it really suits the plot in this book. And it was very advanced when you compare it with modern day Sci-Fi books and movies

However the aliens in this book aren’t small, gray species but rather these giant robots which looks like dogs made off metal and new technology in a way. Which really surprised me in a good way. But still I just couldn’t find a answer to how they were created. Of course the real aliens could have created these space robot digs but if they have the technology to create destruction robots then why not came down to earth by themselves?

To be honest I have a lot of questions to the plot in this book. The robot dogs which are destruction robots which I’ve said above is one example of my questions for this book.

This book is very short, I read it in one long sitting which I probably shouldn’t have done.

This book isn’t scary as some people on the internet say, this book is just another Sci-Fi books about aliens. Which means that it is very generic even thou it was published in 1897.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
