The narrator tells of witnessing the unstoppable onslaught of invaders from Mars, leading toward the seemingly inevitable downfall of mankind in this landmark of the literary imagination and foundational novel of the science fiction genre.

Adapted repeatedly to film and television, the novel's central concept of humanity under attack by extraterrestrials has never ceased
