H.G. Wells' great science-fiction classic, "War Of The Worlds", was first published in 1898. Wells begins by depicting the placid England of the turn of the century. Into this peaceful scene, a mysterious missile arrives from outer space. Inside are the Men from Mars ! At first, the horrifying monsters are not taken seriously, but they soon overcome mankind's puny defences and advance on London, wreaking destruction and havoc. The panic-stricken population flees in terror; nothing, it seems, can stop the aliens taking over the country and, eventually, the world.
Perhaps most chillingly of all, Wells' terrifying monsters may not be quite so alien as they appear. "It is quite credible," says his narrator, "that the Martians may be descended from beings not unlike ourselves...."

This abridgement of "The War Of The Worlds" is read by the well-known actor Robert Hardy and it provides excellent listening entertainment.
