The novel's hero is trapped in what is left of London, despairing at the destruction of human civilization, when he discovers that life on Earth is more resilient than he had imagined. Adapted by Orson Welles for his notorious 1938 radio drama and subsequently by many filmmakers, H. G. Wells's timeless story shows no sign of losing its grip on readers' imaginations."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Imaginary wars and battles $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Space warfare $v Fiction. 650 0 $a FICTION / Classics. 650 0 $a FICTION / Science Fiction / Alien Contact. 650 0 $a FICTION / Science Fiction / Action & Adventure. 650 0 $a Imaginary wars and battles. 650 0 $a Space warfare. 651 0 $a Mars (Planet) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Mars (Planet) 650 0 $a Science fiction. 650 0 $a War stories. 941 $a 2 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409040536.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012022713.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A7736AEAB42211E9B815892E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
