Vypravěč popisuje nezastavitelný útok invazních sil z Marsu, který vede k zdánlivě nevyhnutelnému pádu lidstva v tomto zásadním díle literární imaginace a zakládajícím románu žánru science fiction. Příběh, poprvé publikovaný v roce 1897, je vyprávěn jasným, téměř dokumentárním stylem. Realisticky vykreslené prostředí, s přesně popsanými městy a ulicemi, dává marťanskému útoku a následnému kolapsu pořádku ve viktoriánské Anglii nezapomenutelný dopad. Britská říše nasazuje své nejsilnější válečné stroje, avšak bez úspěchu, zatímco vypravěč, prchající před nehumánním nepřítelem, se skrývá v troskách civilizace. Hlavní koncept románu, kdy je lidstvo napadeno mimozemšťany, nepřestává rezonovat v populární kultuře a inspiroval více napodobenin než jakýkoli jiný motiv v žánru science fiction. Tento román H.G. Wellse si dodnes zachovává jak pocit nadpozemské úžasu, tak i hrůzostrašnou intenzitu.

The Time Machine (1895) and The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896) brought H.G. Wells instant fame and established him as one of the pre-eminent founders of modern science fiction.

This edition offers authoritative texts of both novels, explanatory notes, an Introduction setting them in the context of Wells's life and thought, and the age in which they were written.
