H. G. Wells’s classic science fiction novel follows the terrifying arrival of Martian invaders in late Victorian England. As strange cylinders fall from the sky and reveal powerful extraterrestrial machines, ordinary people struggle to survive amid panic, destruction, and the collapse of social order. Told through the perspective of an unnamed narrator, the story blends suspense, speculative science, and social commentary, helping define the modern alien-invasion narrative.
