Critic reviews

"Sometimes slapstick, sometimes thoughtful, the book's delights are really too numerous to describe in detail." ( The Valley Times)
"Fun all the way through...carried out with both a respect for Wells's great work and a sense of humor about its own purpose." ( Asimov's Science Fiction)

Interesting adventures

this is a collection of short stories featuring some famous faces from history and a few from fiction as a battle of against the Martian Invaders.
What is the weather very interesting and action-packed in some cases a brilliant companion to an amazing story.
