A true classic' Guardian 'The classic tale of alien invasion, and still the best' The Times "Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us." While the world crumbles under the shadow of the Martian invasion, one lone man sets out across the wasteland to find his wife. Our edition is a joy to hold in your hand. Buy it with confidence!
