The War of the Worlds: The Book That Started It All...
Maxwell Caulfield, H.G. Wells
Mientras se avanza en la invasión queda patente el porqué esta obra dejó tan profunda impresión (y sigue dejándola). La invasión, vista por el narrador de la novela, es completamente verosímil, el asombro ante el primer colindro, la inocente confianza antes de que empiece la invasión, la incredulidad ante los primeros ataques y la invasión misma, sin por ello perder la trama y dejar de narrar cómo sus personajes logran sobrevivir (al tiempo que escapan de Londres o quedan atrapados en el sótano de una casa destruida por la caída de uno de los cilindros). La habilidad narrativa de Wells le permite hacer digresiones especulativas sobre la anatomía de los marcianos o de sus avances mecánicos sin que estos se vean impostados y manteniéndolos en el ámbito de lo posible según la ciencia de su tiempo.
